On An Island
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.
I'm moving up the coast
On a way I roam
Gonna see what I can see
I'm breaking at the bones
On a fortune's ghost
It's easier than talking
You said I was broken
But I don't seem to mind
Oh how many days float away
Out across the water
I wander up the road
The ancient stones were high as I could see
I felt in my pose
Water was breaking up against my ankles
In time
I have foreseen this
Written on the pale grey water
Holding your hammer down
You were born to tell the tale
Just let the sun shine down
You said I was broken
But I don't seem to mind
You said I was broken
But I don't seem to mind
I'm moving up the coast
Light can be freeing
I'll get out of debt this time
I'm breaking at the bones
On a fortune's ghost
It's easier than talking
You said I was broken
But I don't seem to mind
Oh how many days float away
Out across the water
