Eb                      Eb\D

Holding you close, undisturbed before a fire,

    Cm                                    G#m

The pressure in my chest when you breathe in my ear;

    Gm                              Fm

We both knew this would happen when you first appeared,

Gm          Fm

My lady of the island.



verse 2 (same as above)

The brownness of your body in the fire glow
Except the places where the sun refused to go.
Our bodies were a perfect fit,
in afterglow we lay, 
My lady of the island.




  E     EaddBb   E    EaddBb        E       EaddBb    Eb

Letting myself wander through the world inside your eyes

  E      EaddBb       E      EaddBb   E     EaddBb    Eb

You know I'd like to stay here until every tear runs dry.

Wrapped around each other in the peeping sun,

Cm                                    G#m

Beams of sunshine light the stage,  the red light's on.

    Gm                            Fm

I never want to finish what I've just begun with you,

    Gm      Fm

My lady of the island.
