The islands were
Till the morning dawned on us
Who knew how warm
Heals wounds, winds pry apart
Swans sing songs all night long
Heals wounds, winds pry apart
I woke up thirsty the day I died
My mouth is so dry
I'm thankful for my life
While the frogs look on
The islands would be
Swans, swans
The sky'd cover me
With the sparrows in the trees
And the sun smudged peach moon
A little wave and ebb tide
Rivers leak, salt seeps in
I climbed into the blowhole
It makes you forget
Yet all I see is sea
And azure sky
It's what the birds prefer
With a wick we lit a flame
And it's still warm after the sun has gone
Rivers leak, salt seeps in
And who knew just how much
Still hung loose
Rivers leak, salt seeps in
Now look at the smoke that it blew
In the ribs I found you
Who knew how warm
And the tide was swirling
And all I see is sea, two shining seas
Bones, bones, bones grown homes
Swans, swans, swans sung songs
What it means to be free
Heals wounds, winds pry apart
We leave them for
They love the marrow
The mouth is so wide
