Lyrics Alice Phoebe Lou - Girl On An Island

There once was an island,
further than any boat had reached.
And she sat there in silence.
Alone, but at ease.
A spell was upon her.
Her body could never leave,
but her mind would travel multitudes
your eye could not conceive.
When the night sky
is your only friend,
when you're tired
of playing pretend,
when the ground under your feet
seems like no more than a dream,
and you're in over your head
and your instincts are not fed,
well, you're not free.
You don't feel free.
There's no time to beon that island with me,
far away from the city,
from the litter and poverty,
from the fast-paced monotony.
