Lyrics
Missing Islands
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.
Effortless gulls in the wake
Silver and white on the bow
As the island is broken away
From the world
Bandages pulled from the eyes
The violent surging of life
In the bloodstream of heaven and earth
Falls away
Stars on the boundary line
Bloom and recede in the day
And the air-field is under the waves-
