Lyrics
Isles
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.
Everyone stares when you walk in the room
They stare when you go
You've got so much control
How could anyone say no
They rarely do
That's why you're you
And why you're winning
And I don't even miss you at all
No no
Caught in the light, you would idly spin
Your skeleton ring
See it shine when you sing
To the window with no meaning
From Tennessee your harmony
Would leave your spirit
And I don't even miss you at all
No no
Silver the shores of isles I've known
Boulevards of dancing boats
You keep the old ember burning
With meadows in mind
As the coaches go by
These thoughts of you will die
They rarely do
That's why you're you
And why you're winning
And I don't even miss you at all
No no
Silver the shores of isles I've known
Boulevards of dancing boats
Silver the shores of isles I've known
