The Island: Come And See/The Landlord's Daughter/You'll Not Feel The Drowning (岛屿:来看一下/房东的女儿/你不会有沉溺的感觉) (Medley) - The Decemberists (十二月党)[00:00:00]
Written by:Colin Meloy[00:00:00]
There's an island hidden in the sound[00:02:13]
Lapping currents lay your boat to ground[00:02:20]
Affix your barb and bayonet[00:02:28]
The curlews carve their arabesques[00:02:32]
And sorrow fills the silence all around[00:02:36]
You come and see[00:02:43]
There's a harbor lost within the reeds[00:02:51]
A jetty caught in over hanging trees[00:02:59]
Among the bones of cormorants[00:03:06]
No boot mark here nor fingerprints[00:03:10]
The rivers roll down to a soundless sea[00:03:14]
You come and see[00:03:22]
Come and see[00:03:29]
The tides will come and go[00:03:41]
Witnessed by no waking eye[00:03:47]
Who rose like the wind[00:03:51]
Though we know for sure amidst this fading light[00:03:57]
We'll not go home again[00:04:06]
Come and see[00:04:12]
Come and see[00:04:19]
In the lowlands nestled in the heat[00:04:35]
A brier cradle rocks its babe to sleep[00:04:43]
It's contents watched by sycorax[00:04:50]
And patagon in paralax[00:04:54]
A foretold rumbling sounds below the deep[00:04:58]
Come and see[00:05:06]
Come and see[00:05:13]
The tides will come and go witnessed by no waking eye[00:05:26]
Who rose like the wind[00:05:35]
Though we know for sure amidst this fading light[00:05:41]
We'll not go home again[00:05:50]
Come and see[00:05:56]
Come and see[00:06:04]
As I was rambled[00:06:26]
Down by the water[00:06:30]
I spied in sable[00:06:33]
The landlord's daughter[00:06:37]
Produced my pistol[00:06:51]
Then my saber[00:06:54]
To make no whistle[00:06:58]
Or thou will be murdered[00:07:01]
Lord[00:07:07]
Lord[00:07:15]
She cursed she shivered[00:07:29]
She cried for mercy[00:07:33]
My gold and silver[00:07:36]
If thou will release me[00:07:40]
Lord[00:07:46]
Lord[00:07:53]
Lord[00:07:57]
I'll take no gold miss[00:08:26]
I'll take no silver[00:08:29]
I'll take those sweet lips[00:08:33]
And I'll deliver[00:08:36]
Lord[00:08:41]
Lord[00:08:42]
I will dress your eyelids[00:09:38]
With dimes on your eyes[00:09:42]
Laying close to water[00:09:46]
Green your grave will rise[00:09:51]
Go to sleep now little ugly[00:09:56]
Go to sleep now you little fool[00:10:00]
Forty winking in the belfry[00:10:05]
You'll not feel the drowning[00:10:09]
You'll not feel the drowning[00:10:13]
Forget you once had sweethearts[00:10:25]
They've forgotten you[00:10:30]
Think you not on parents[00:10:34]
They've forgotten too[00:10:39]
Go to sleep now little ugly[00:10:44]
Go to sleep now you little fool[00:10:49]
Forty winking in the belfry[00:10:53]
You'll not feel the drowning[00:10:57]
You'll not feel the drowning[00:11:01]
Go to sleep now little ugly[00:11:32]
Go to sleep now you little fool[00:11:36]
Forty winking in the belfry[00:11:41]
You'll not feel the drowning[00:11:45]
You'll not feel the drowning[00:11:49]
Hear you now the captain[00:12:02]
Heed his sorrowed cry[00:12:05]
Weight upon your eyelids[00:12:09]
Is dimes laid on your eyes[00:12:14]
