The Magic Island

The place I am writing about here would be a mysterious isle in the Caribbean, not too far from the mainland, the same one referenced in this song:

Not so far away, ay, compadre?

She doesn't speak
She doesn't sing
She doesn't look like anything
I've seen or heard
In this tired world
She is from the magic island

Her eyes are flames
That call my name
These secret stars in silence came
To light my nights
To warm my days
Came from the magic island

The magic island lives inside
This embattled heart of mine
Though the water overflows
She's the only one who knows
What's buried on the magic island

Another dawn
Will come to pass
Another race will run too fast
And only loneliness endures
Till she returns upon these shores
For she is from the magic island
