Cat Power - Islands lyrics

rate me

i want to rule the islands

and i want to rule the sea

but if you're not coming back

i will sleep eternally

i don't want no heavy diamonds

and pearls crush my teeth

i just want my sailor

to sail back to me

the captain has a treasure

says i hold the key

but old mangroves

and sweet winds blow

songs of you and me

i want to rule the islands

and i want to rule the sea

but if you're not coming back

i will sleep eternally
