You are reliable as a painting
In wave wet sand

I look in your eyes and I can't see a thing
That usually means attraction to me
I've read all the books about love I could find
And I've found not one, no
Not one word 'bout mine

'Cause you are reliable as a painting
In wave wet sand
You're coming and you're going
Like the water you never end
'Cause you are reliable as a painting
In wave wet sand
And I am just another piece of an island
In reach for your hands

Feel my doubts when you are in my arms
Darling, if you know that it's love and not charm
You must tell me so or go elsewhere to hunt

'Cause you are reliable as a painting
In wave wet sand
You're coming and you're going
Like the water you never end
'Cause you are reliable as a painting
In wave wet sand
And I am just another piece of an island
In reach for your hands

(I am just another piece of an island)
(I am just another piece of an island)

I can't close my eyes when I hear that you call
I don't want to fear every tear that could fall
I'll go on my own, and pass people with doubts
My goal is to find
Just a piece of your love

Your love is - your love is like the water
You are like the water
You are like the water
You, you are my shore, and you know you are my shore
