We wave till those who wave back
Grow tiny on the pier
Leaving you gets harder
With every passing year
Memories like contraband
Stored deep within my heart
To see me through the hectic days
Whenever we're apart
Crossing the sound
Love won't let us down

Between the island and the mainland
Cross currents in the sound
Many dreams have floundered here
And many run aground
So as I ride the wave crest
I know a trough will follow
Ten thousand years upon this isle
Makes all success seem hollow
Crossing the sound
Love won't let us down

Let me take you in my arms
Let me embrace you
The world and all its reckless charms
Could not replace you
And every time I have to go away
Remember today
Crossing the sound
Love won't let us down

We sail beneath the rainbow
Upon a troubled tide
Caught in sharp collision
Tall waves on every side
Between the island and mainland
All certainties are drowned
And only hope keeps us afloat
Crossing the sound
Crossing the sound
Love won't let us down
