lyrics

when the sun beats down
on its drum
when the day sits
down for rum

I will go, back to the golden islands
i will take, nothing but my time

is this paradise
looking back at me
the rain culling men
and the men culling trees

I will not, hoe your weeds
I will not, grow your seeds

I will row, back to the golden islands
I will know, no one but myself

'you don’t look the same'
said he when he heard my name
oh 'we don’t look alike
just because we share a name'
said I

what else can we do,
but to look out for the tune
that binds together lives
separated, by time?

no he didn’t look like anyone
that i had
ever seen
and she didn’t move like anyone
that I had
ever been
