little island - glenda luck lyrics

i watched the arrows fly through the air
hunters deep in the snow
oh, but the deer, were they here?
oh, but the deer, were they here?
maybe a buck or a doe to take home
for a blanket or stew, and oh
and the bones
such amazing things they could do

you stay away from me
shrouded up safe in your city lights
you come back to me with the summer sun
come back to me with your perfume and run
come back to spy on my sister and i
you ask us to dance
but we do not reply
here on my little island of manitou
all the year long there’s so much to do
just ask the birds and they’ll tell you it’s true
just like the birds they all fly away
when the winter wind blows and the cold air moves in
like the owl and the crow
only the strong ones will stay

oh how the seasons change in my hands
the fish from the surf, the berries from the land
i know each bird by its song
i know the robin beats four measures long
keeping my ear to the pulse of the air
and my eyes to the moon
helplessly singing this tune

passenger, passenger, oh hear my song
i know your skiff, you’ll not stay very long
my sister’s still pining for you
from the look of her belly in june, she’ll be due
we’re just a stop on your long list of dots
from cape cod to peru
woefully bid you adieu
