The Island: Come And See/The Landlord's Daughter/You'll Not Feel The Drowning (Medley|Home Demo) - The Decemberists[00:00:00]
Written by:Colin Meloy[00:00:01]
There's an island hidden in the sound[00:01:07]
Lapping currents lay your boat to ground[00:01:15]
Affix your barb and bayonet[00:01:22]
The curlews carve their arabesques[00:01:26]
And sorrow fills the silence all around[00:01:30]
You come and see[00:01:37]
There's a harbor lost within the reeds[00:01:46]
A jetty caught in over hanging trees[00:01:53]
Among the bones of cormorants[00:02:01]
No boot mark here nor fingerprints[00:02:04]
The rivers roll down to a soundless sea[00:02:08]
You come and see[00:02:16]
Come and see[00:02:23]
The tides will come and go[00:02:42]
Witnessed by no waking eye[00:02:47]
Who rose like the wind[00:02:51]
Though we know for sure amidst this fading light[00:02:57]
We'll not go home again[00:03:05]
Come and see[00:03:11]
Come and see[00:03:19]
In the lowlands nestled in the heat[00:03:42]
A brier cradle rocks its babe to sleep[00:03:50]
It's contents watched by sycorax[00:03:58]
And patagon in paralax[00:04:01]
A foretold rumbling sounds below the deep[00:04:05]
Come and see[00:04:13]
Come and see[00:04:20]
The tides will come and go witnessed by no waking eye[00:04:39]
Who rose like the wind[00:04:48]
Though we know for sure amidst this fading light[00:04:54]
We'll not go home again[00:05:03]
Come and see[00:05:08]
Come and see[00:05:16]
As I was rambled[00:05:32]
Down by the water[00:05:35]
I spied in sable[00:05:39]
The landlord's daughter[00:05:43]
Produced my pistol[00:05:58]
Then my saber[00:06:01]
To make no whistle[00:06:05]
Or thou will be murdered[00:06:09]
Lord[00:06:15]
She cursed she shivered[00:06:38]
She cried for mercy[00:06:42]
My gold and silver[00:06:45]
If thou will release me[00:06:49]
I'll take no gold miss[00:07:00]
I'll take no silver[00:07:03]
I'll take those sweet lips[00:07:07]
And I'll deliver[00:07:10]
Lord[00:07:14]
Lord[00:07:17]
I will dress your eyelids[00:08:33]
With dimes on your eyes[00:08:37]
Laying close to water[00:08:41]
Green your grave will rise[00:08:45]
Go to sleep now little ugly[00:08:49]
Go to sleep now you little fool[00:08:53]
Forty winking in the belfry[00:08:57]
You'll not feel the drowning[00:09:01]
You'll not feel the drowning[00:09:04]
Forget you once had sweethearts[00:09:15]
They've forgotten you[00:09:18]
Think you not on parents[00:09:22]
They've forgotten too[00:09:26]
Go to sleep now little ugly[00:09:30]
Go to sleep now you little fool[00:09:34]
Forty winking in the belfry[00:09:38]
You'll not feel the drowning[00:09:42]
You'll not feel the drowning[00:09:46]
Go to sleep now little ugly[00:10:12]
Go to sleep now you little fool[00:10:16]
Forty winking in the belfry[00:10:20]
You'll not feel the drowning[00:10:24]
You'll not feel the drowning[00:10:27]
Hear you now the captain[00:10:36]
Heed his sorrowed cry[00:10:40]
Weight upon your eyelids[00:10:43]
Is dimes laid on your eyes[00:10:47]
