Islands歌詞

[00:25.17]At the mouth of the open sea
[00:30.69]The leaves will be turning red
[00:38.18]While the man that they thought I could be
[00:43.94]Lives in a book you read
[00:51.14]Where the coast is uncomfortably close
[00:54.57]The sturgeon have fled
[01:04.05]I supposed that with a Japanese rose
[01:10.04]I could undo you
[01:16.14]So I pinned it to you
[01:30.00]There's an island straight ahead
[01:35.45]Named after a dead man
[01:43.01]Where the crest at the tip of its wrist
[01:48.56]Is ladled with virgin sand
[01:55.72]Where the coast is indelibly close
[02:01.34]We'll strike up the band
[02:09.35]And I'll wonder whether we were the ones
[02:14.76]Who meant nothing to you
[02:21.13]The ones who withdrew you
[03:42.76]Heavy the hand, heavy the harvest
[03:55.07]Steady the hand, steady the harness
[04:08.16]Pray for the land, pray for the locust
[04:21.06]Pray for the land, pray for the locust
[04:31.63]At the mouth of the open sea
[04:37.07]The wedding is winding down
[04:44.62]All the guests are beginning
[04:48.40]To mourn the death of a wedding gown
[04:57.00]Your ghost is unbearably close
[05:02.86]Unbearably bound
[05:10.44]Now the lights make early widows of nights
[05:16.10]That try to outdo you
[05:23.50]Now the crows are blackened ribbons and bows
[05:28.94]That hang from a new you
[05:36.21]I supposed that with a Japanese rose
[05:42.23]I could undo you
[05:48.48]So I pinned it to you
[05:55.31]I pinned it to you
[06:05.89]
