This Island Life Lyrics by Violent Femmes

This Island Life Lyrics

    This tea's too strong for me
    As i await your company
    I had too much sun today
    Ocean waters wash away
    Nothing but the present
    Presenting its presence
    This island life
    Separate my right from my wrong
    No i am not pagan
    But my heart has been forsaken
    And the hand of god was on my mind
    It took some time from time to time
    Now in the course i know
    Time itself will go when
    This island life
    Separates my right from my wrong
    You forgot your shoes and i
    I have sent a message but i
    There's so many stars in the sky
    It's the truths that will not lie
    There's a you wild native maiden
    Running mad and barefoot to the sea until
    This island life
    Separates my rights from my wrongs
    This island life
    Finally separates my right from my wrong
    This tea's too strong for me
    As i await more company
    I had too much sun today
    Dram of lands lying far away
    Pregnant with the present
    Presenting its presents
    This island life
    Separate my right from my wrong
    This island life
    Will separate my rights from my songs
    Separate my right from my wrong
