Lyrics
Island Heart
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.
Genie in a light brown bottle
A little bitter in asides
She's fishing where the coast
Is not so clear
A ship in the night
Is putting out to sea
And it could be coming
Could be coming
Could be coming here
It's not her maiden voyage
But she floats across the floor
Doesn't want to wait and see
What gets washed ashore
Will you sail to this island heart?
Will you sail to this island heart?
I'd never heard that kind of thing
In my whole life before
Maybe it's a code
That I don't know
I hope the next one's plain sailing
'Cause this one's on the rocks
And the tide is coming
Tide is coming
Tide is coming in
She's a skin diver
Looking for the treasure chest
I'd really like to guide her
But she's out of her depth
Will you sail to this island heart?
Will you sail to this island heart?
Set sail
Flicking through the letters
On the doormat today
Looks like there's a
Postcard from abroad
'The weather's fine here
But you know the rest
'And you didn't pass
Didn't pass
Didn't pass the test!'
Palm trees sway gently
As a breeze blows from the sea
Now I don't think it's
Such a bad place to be
A million stars light up
The island night
But the sand gets
In my eyes sometimes
Will you sail to this island heart?
Will you sail to this island heart?
Will you sail
Will you sail
Will you sail to this island heart?
