As I stumble through Seattle The moonlight by my side You're sleeping, soft as shadows But I hear you through the night Every word you say I etch into my soul Like it's the last I'll ever know They embody love Like some long forgotten poem I'm not an island when I'm alone As the wind passes through the meadow Your words cool the heat of day I'm driving east through northern Colorado On my way to see your face in Ames Every word you say I etch into my soul Like it's the last I'll ever know They embody love Like some long forgotten poem I'm not an island when I'm alone I'm not an island when I'm alone Every word you say I etch into my soul Like it's the last I'll ever know They embody love Like some long forgotten poem I'm not an island when I'm alone I'm not an island when I'm alone
