lyrics

Nine silhouettes sitting solid and low
Drenched in the rain and the ice and the snow
Always to windward of waters that flow
Down through the long march of time

Brunting the waves and the nor’easter’s blow
Bare to the sky and the fathoms below
Fronting the years as the centuries flow
These little islands in time… these little islands sublime.

Nine silhouettes sitting far out to sea
Breakers to windward and combers alee
Weathering time in good company
Better than ever you’ll find

Into the weather you come and you go
In the darkest of nights there’s a sweep and a glow
And a flash that resounds with a sailor’s “land ho!”
And the voyages left behind

The seasons will pass, and the night into day
For all who will leave us, and all who will stay
If time is an ocean, then life is a bay
But it’s better than ever you’ll find… on these little islands in time
These little islands sublime.
