A religious song inspired by the Seekers “Island of Dreams” – yes, really!

Take Me To The Lover
Take me to the pilot of your little sailing ship
Take me to the captain on the way
Take me to the one who knows that things will come to this
Take me to the lover when you pray
Come with me on a journey to a region far away
Fly forbidden paths above the earth
Let the sun envelop you in warmth and love and splendour
Open up the wings you have unfurled
Lethargy, a legacy of all that can surround us
Watch the people scurrying over the land
If you feel afraid call to your lover far away
Reaching out I’ll guide you by the hand
Take me to the pilot of your little sailing ship
Take me to the captain on the way
Take me to the one who knows that things will come to this
Take me to the lover when you pray
Far below a gentle sea dispenses with the ocean
Descending from above we come to rest
An island in a wilderness is all there is to greet us
And cold and empty pictures in the ash
Frantically you search around for what you once believed in
The stories you were told all turn to sand
Lying on the beach I wait for you to come to me
And I will be your lover to the end
Take me to the pilot of your little sailing ship
Take me to the captain on the way
Take me to the one who knows that things will come to this
Take me to the lover when you pray
