Bogmen - Treasure Isle lyrics

rate me

The treasure hunt is over, the x is just an x,<br />

there's nothing underneath it, man am I depressed,<br />

The swells are making me homesick,<br />

they rock me into a dream,<br />

I never get to see you,<br />

I could use a bath.<br />

<br />

The flies come in on the South wind,<br />

the North wind brings the croupe,<br />

the East wind, strange aromas,<br />

to live upon our sloop,<br />

<br />

I had to leave the country,<br />

the spirit left the body,<br />

I searched the world to find it,<br />

it's all a bunch of shit,<br />

<br />

We play connect the dots with stars at night,<br />

take midnight swims and wait for the sharks to bite,<br />

darling, no delights,<br />

I've chewed a million limes to date,<br />

kissed whales and handfed skate<br />

<br />

Ah the sea, the mighty sea, lonely sea, hallow sea<br />

<br />

It can be found in the kitchen,<br />

can find it in the stove,<br />

sitting in your bedroom next to you my love,.<br />

you've been such an angel and I've been such a skank<br />

You have every right dear to make me walk the plank<br />

<br />

A life is not a life at all unless it's lived with love,<br />

and the sea is not a mother,<br />

nor breeding ground for doves<br />

<br />

In a dream you stand astern on the water<br />

and call for me to come back soon,<br />

I say that it's too soon just yet,<br />

each day you sank an inch,<br />

it was your hope that kept you up<br />

<br />

The treasure hunt is over,<br />

the 'x' is just an 'x',<br />

but now there's something beneath it,<br />

she's in a wedding dress...
