Islands in the stream That is what we are No one in between How can we be wrong Sail away with me To another world Baby when I met you there was peace unknown I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb I was soft inside

Who am I, who am I Without you, without you? What are you running from? You're back for a minute and you're gone And I wanna know where it's coming from Where this is coming from And I wanna know what you're running from Hold me up to the light Tell me

What was that sound ringing around your brain? You're the outcast, you're the underclass But you don't care, because you're living fast You're the uninvited guest who stays 'till the end I know you've got a problem that the devil sends You think they're

I was never enough for you Was whatever you wanted me to But you took that from me, yeah I should have known, I should've known Don't waste my time My legs are weary but I still walk My hands are sore and broken but I still clutch My heart is jaded but I

You know I want you It's not a secret I try to hide No one can say what we get to be I know you want me So don't keep saying our hands are tied You claim it's not in the cards Fate is pulling you miles away And out of reach from me

You know I want you It's not a secret I try to hide Say you were made to be mine No one could say what we get to be You know you want me So don't keep saying our hands are tied You claim it's not in the cards And faith is pulling you miles away And out

Good times, bad times You know I had my share When my woman left home With a brown eyed man Well, I still don't seem to care In the days of my youth I was told what it was to be a man Now I've reached the age I've tried to do all those things the best I

I don't wanna finish what we started I never should've let you in You thought I was an easy target Now I know who you are, who the devil is You can try to take my salvation You can try to take everything I'm not asleep to your temptation 'Cause I know

You know that I care What happens to you And I know that you care So I don't feel alone Or the weight of the stone Now that I've found somewhere safe To bury my bone And any fool knows a dog needs a home A shelter from pigs on the wing

Then I think that I've seen enough Oh, I've given you all of my love But it's still not enough Oh, if this is what dreams are made of Give a little time to me Give a little trust and you'd see Give a little peace of mind You never know what you might
