The Island Song
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.
And oh, the wretch is gone
And oh, the sorries begin
And oh, the drinking has thinned
Oh, still I wrestle
I wrestle within
And then to you
I don't look so good
Like I did what I felt like
Like I did what I would
But I don't have my dog
And I don't make a sound
I live on an island
In the middle of town
So if you've got a thing
WIth me or my friend
Remember what we've been through
Remember where we've been
We don't have our dogs
And we don't make a sound
We live on an island
In the middle of town
And oh, the wretch is gone
And oh, the sorries begin
And oh, the drinking has thinned
Oh still I wrestle
I wrestle within
And then to you
I don't look so good
Like I did what I felt like
Like I did what I would
But I don't have my dog
And I don't make a sound
I live on an island
In the middle of town
