The Island
There's an island in the sea
surrounded on all sides
surrounded on all sides
by water that is cold and deep and cruel.
And this island in the sea
is an island only I can see
is an island only I can see
from a boat I call myself from which I sail.
Oh the water roils and boils and coils around my
every move my every waking day.
every move my every waking day.
Oh the island calls with all that lush, green forest I call home.
There's and island in the sea
at its center is a hut for me
at its center is a hut for me
built from everything the island has to give
Bamboo, rock and bone
vines and orchids are my home,
vines and orchids are my home,
fruit upon my tongue, moist air inside my lungs.
Oh the water roils and boils and coils around my
every move my every waking day.
every move my every waking day.
Oh the island calls with all that lush, green forest I call home.
There's and island in the sea
I go there when I can
I go there when I can
and lay and watch the clouds as they glide by.
On the island I can sleep,
On the island I can wail and weep,
On the island I can wail and weep,
On the island I am naked, just exactly who I am.
Oh the water roils and boils and coils around my
every move my every waking day.
every move my every waking day.
Oh the island calls with
all that lush, green forest I call home.
all that lush, green forest I call home.
