Turtle Island

Down the hill I'd hoped that I'd find
Something I could rest my hands on
In the distance sun is setting
Feel I'm jumping over hedges
By the dock of the pond Turtle Island
I will wait for you there creeping silently
I can keep you right behind me all my days in the
In the waters tracing features
Did they scare hardened creatures?
In that murky green reflection
Did they warn you of dissection?
How, what, why, when?
By the dock of the pond Turtle Island
I will wait for you there creeping silently
I can keep you right behind me all my days in the
How I want Olive (our love) to know
That inside me she will always grow
In all colors and sizes
You will always remain
By the dock of the pond Turtle Island
By the dock of the pond Turtle Island
I can keep you right behind me all my days in the sun
