Islands call out to me
Like the highlands that I always see
In my dreams of home
I am never alone when I am there
Islands like so many dreams
Are like canyons but off the main stream
And there's no one there
The dreamer is always alone
And the mighty blue ocean
Keeps rolling on every shore
Like the spirit that binds us together
We are so much more than islands
Islands belong to the sea
Like the dark sands of my memory
When the morning comes
They are stepping stones to the sun
And the mighty blue ocean
Keeps rolling on every shore
Like the spirit that binds us together
We are so much more than islands

Great video!
Does the poster happen to have the actual interview after the song? John mentioned in the clip he'd discuss the song afterwards.
Cheers,
Chris

What I recall are the endless encores at the end. I know JD always had a few songs ready for the encores,but this time he sang them all & after he left the stage the crowd stood and cheered for what seemed like an eternity. They would NOT stop. 6 or 7 times he'd return & do a set of songs & still they would not let him leave! He said we were the best audience he ever had,but the semi-laringitis & long tired sigh he gave revealed how it cost him. JD earned every bit of his fan loyalty.
