Islands on the Coast
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Here's a copy
Of a lesson you know
And put the kind words to be
For man, don't say why
Or even know how
It's only awful as
The hell that you know
When islands want to coast
Islands want to coast
They'll know how
Yeah, they'll know how
And only hours before
The house had burned down
He shut the other door
But if I don't see now
Or even know why
It's only awful
As the hell that you know
When islands want to coast
Islands want to coast
They'll know how
Yeah, they'll know how
Home, home, home (x4)
He was writing in
The lesson you know
Let's take the other door
Now, if I don't think right
Or even know how
It's only awful
As the hell that you know
When islands want to coast
Islands want to coast
They'll know how
Yeah, they'll know how
Home, home, home (x4)
