Violent Femmes - This Island Life lyrics

rate me

This tea's too strong for me

As I await your company

I had too much sun today

Ocean waters wash away

Nothing but the present

Presenting its presence

This island life

Separate my right from my wrong

No I am not pagan

But my heart has been forsaken

And the hand of God was on my mind

It took some time from time to time

Now in the course I know

Time itself will go when

This island life

Separates my right from my wrong

You forgot your shoes and I

I have sent a message but I

There's so many stars in the sky

It's the truths that will not lie

There's a you wild native maiden

Running mad and barefoot to the sea until

This island life

Separates my rights from my wrongs

This island life

Finally separates my right from my wrong

This tea's too strong for me

As I await more company

I had too much sun today

Dram of lands lying far away

Pregnant with the present

Presenting its presents

This island life

Separate my right from my wrong

This island life

Will separate my rights from my songs

Separate my right from my wrong
