Island - Black Lab

I turn, I smile, hello, goodbye

The world goes by in a dream

And I pretend I’m here in this skin

But I am gone, lost in the trees

On this island, this island

Things go nowhere

Nothing lives and nothing dies

On this island, this island

No future but the tide

Rolling in and out of sight

I watch the waves

For days and days in this grief

I wonder how you got out

You just stepped out

Where are you now?

You just stepped out

Leaving me on this island, this island

Things go nowhere

Nothing lives and nothing dies

On this island, this island

No future but the rising tide

The way you cried out

The way you held me down

The way you’d melt right in my hands

The way you turned me 'round

The way you left me on my own

Here alone

On this island, this island

Things go nowhere

Nothing lives and nothing dies

On this island, this island

And yeah, I remember your face

Less every day

I’m locked in this cage

Lost here on this island

No future but the tide

Rolling in and out of sight
