Caroline Herring - Tales Of The Islander lyrics

rate me

Tales of the islander

Tales of you and me

Floating on our raft

Down the Mother Mississippi

Caught myself a fever

Took a hospital stay

Tied some sheets together

Crawled down and was on my way

I was on my way

Let's take to the water

Let our bodies roam free

No more taste or smell

No hear nor see

Then greet the morning star

As we dance along the beach

Embrace this mighty sunrise

As the cranes fly to meet it

Cranes rise to meet it

Birds call to me

They call

They call to me

They call so deep

Got to feel it all

No time for sleep

No time at all

When they call

They call to me

They call so deep

Got to feel it all

No time for sleep

No time at all

We found a paradise

And it's own garden gate

Adam in a hat on a rowboat

Phosphorescence in the wake

The squall has passed

And we're tied to the decay

One day may the hurricanes come

And carry us away

Carry us away

Waves call to me

They call

They call to me

They call so deep

Got to feel it all

No time for sleep

No time at all

When they call

They call to me

They call so deep

Got to feel it all

No time for sleep

No time at all

Give me a sunset

Of lilac, gold and green gray skies

I'll give you spirals and zig zag lines

It's the magic hour of a halcyon day

And all of mankind stands there

Barely awake

A full moon rising

On all of nature's powers

Stars just observers

Of zinnias and moonflowers

We could bathe in the nullah of a gulf stream

Prowl like cats in the night

Then transform like moths

In a chrysalis of light

Chrysalis of light

Moths call to me

They call

They call to me

They call so deep

Got to feel it all

No time for sleep

No time at all

When they call

They call to me

They call so deep

Got to feel it all

No time for sleep

No time at all

When they call

When they call<br />

<br />
