Lyrics

We left our little island
So full of its own importance
Like a Christmas card
To sell across the world
Yeah, we had nothing to find there
We just had, we just had to leave those shores
Where we were born
Now we are pulling into the sea
And the waves they crash around you and me
But this love it ain't naive
It keeps its eyes wide
There is just the oar in the water
There's a space in front of us that we pull behind
Are we are feeling fine
Yeah, we're pulling into the sea
And the waves they crash around you and me
But this love it ain't naive
It keeps its eyes wide
And when we are on our side
Yeah, we laugh into the wind
It's the wind that makes us sing
