A friend shared the youtube link for this music video on my facebook acccount yesterday...and I gotta say I really like this song (and the music video). I listened to it a few times last night/this morning, and the song is still stuck in my head.
:)
So *I'm* going to share the link and post the lyrics here.

"The Islander" - by Nightwish

Lyrics:
An old man by a seashore at the end of day
Gazes the horizon with seawinds in his face
Tempest-tossed island, seasons all the same
Anchorage unpainted and a ship without a name
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
The ones on their travels homeward from afar
This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world
Horizon crying the tears he left behind long ago
The albatross is flying, making him daydream
The time before he became one of the world`s unseen
Princess in the tower, children in the fields
Life gave him it all: An island of the universe
Now his love`s a memory, a ghost in the fog
He sets the sails one last time saying farewell to the world
Anchor to the water, seabed far below
Grass still in his feet, and a smile beneath his brow
This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world
Horizon crying the tears he left behind long ago
So long ago....
This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world
Horizon crying the tears he left behind so long ago
