The Island Songtext

von Lucky Fonz III

The island said 'I will not let you go'
The island said 'I will not let you go'
'others have to leave for shore
But you just dropped your clothes to the floor'
The island said 'I will not let you go'

I soon found out that I was not alone
I soon found out that I was not alone
She came and took me by the hand
Said 'try to make them understand'
I soon found out that I was not alone

So I let my long legs burn
I let my long legs burn
I made the days feel like they're mine
I made the days feel like they're mine

I used to wear my rings underneath my skin
I used to wear my rings underneath my skin
They had to shed my skin, you know,
To find out what I had to show
I used to wear my rings underneath my skin

Now take these rings and wear them like a crown
Now take these rings and wear them like a crown
Lesser gods will ask you why
You hold your head so way up high
When you take these rings and wear them like a crown

So you'll let your long legs burn
Let your long legs burn
Make the days feel like they're yours
Make the days feel like they're yours

Everything I have learned, I have learned from you
Everything I have learned, I have learned from you
My words, my ways, my voice, my place,
The signs to look for in a face
Everything I have learned, I have learned from you

Do you hear that robin howling at the moon?
Do you hear that robin howling at the moon?
His cries to stop the slaveboat beat
Will sooner or later knock you off your feet
Do you hear that robin howling at the moon?

And you'll let your long legs burn
Let your long legs burn
Make the days feel like they're yours
Make the days feel like they're yours
