The Island - Richard Shindell[00:00:00]
Written by:Richard Shindell[00:00:01]
Island life does have it's charms[00:00:11]
The constant sun the steady breeze[00:00:17]
Nothing ever happens here[00:00:23]
Few are those who do not fall[00:00:27]
Beneath the spell[00:00:29]
It's language is an orphan branch[00:00:34]
But one that I can understand[00:00:40]
It's cadence is familiar[00:00:47]
It shares the old declension from the continent[00:00:49]
I came here with a package deal[00:00:57]
Everything all prearranged[00:01:01]
Three nights at the grand hotel[00:01:04]
All the rooms[00:01:08]
Have ocean views[00:01:10]
By latitude and longitude[00:01:21]
Mariners will not arrive[00:01:27]
It's coordinates are plotted by[00:01:33]
It's relative position[00:01:36]
To the rising sea[00:01:38]
The lucky few who call it home[00:01:45]
Are prosperous and confident[00:01:50]
They manifest a certainty[00:01:56]
That come what may things will not be otherwise[00:01:59]
I came here with a package deal[00:02:07]
Everything all prearranged[00:02:11]
Three nights at the grand hotel[00:02:14]
Where all the rooms have ocean views[00:02:18]
Time is on the oceans side[00:02:54]
The beaches shift the cliffs erode[00:03:00]
Though the engineers do what they can[00:03:05]
Everyday another house just slides away[00:03:09]
I came here with a package deal[00:03:16]
Everything all prearranged[00:03:21]
Three nights at the grand hotel[00:03:23]
Where all the rooms have ocean views[00:03:27]
All the rooms[00:03:39]
Have ocean views[00:03:42]
