p. neruda - bill mallonee lyrics

[verse 1]
i come here to this island
it’s a half day’s row from land
see its whispering secrets
in language i don’t understand
i come here where the coral gleams like jewels
beneath skies of cobalt blue
i come here just to sit and think
think all about you
yeah, yeah

[verse 2]
how’d i get so low-down mean?
how’d i get it oh so right?
to commit these perfect crimes
and steal your heart at night
you see, the rules of engagement
they’re always written as a curse
no one really wins here
everyone usually gets hurt
still, a crown is what i aim to bring
after all the aiming’s through
but for now, i guess i’ll learn to shine
and think about you
yeah, yeah

[bridge]
take me back
to the sea
wash me up
so you won’t recognize me

[verse 3]
let’s get back to the island
that shines so existential
before the tide of thought rolls in
and i drown in the tangential
cast my thoughts upon these waters
like the driftwood of my soul
to see if eager pirates
might mistake it for gold
these good denizens beneath the churning brine
all salt-washed in their beds
they all dwell in silent slumber
’til the sea gives up her dead
oh, for that port of entry
for each of us ship-wrecked fools
but for now i’m lost in waves of love
and thinking about you
now i’m lost in waves of love
thinking about you
now i’m lost in waves of love
thinking about you
yeah, yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah
