Lyrics
Islander
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.
You are the garden in my heart
And I know of many a place to go
With no walls and high up spaces
Just these cliffs
You are the ground on which I stand
And I know there's only so far to run
When our dreams and all this fury
Wish these waves would crush right through me
Hold me up, I'm treading the water
Hold me up, I'm out of it all
Cause I'm not small, I'm an islander
Keep my head above the water
Salt in my eye, the ocean's daughter
Cry my tears for the island, oh
Hey ya
Hey ya
So far, the garden was
But I fear we'll see a new frontier
With their guns and concrete problems
They wait here for a bomb to solve them
