I used to live on this island
Where love was afraid to come.
Then one day, coming down the stream
Of the brilliant blue waterway
Dividing East from West
Came my Prince who melted my heart
With a love that flowed like golden honey
Into my starving soul.
We took his boat back to the mainland,
Awash in the warm yellow sunshine.
