Heather Nova - Island lyrics

There are parts of me he'll never know, my

wild horses and my river beds, and in my

throat voices he'll never hear.

he pulls at me like a cherry tree, and I can

still move but I don't speak about it.

Pretend I'm crazy, pretend I'm dead. He's

too scared to hit me now - he'll bring

flowers instead

I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone

I need an island, somewhere to bury you,

somewhere to go

And the dogwoods shimmer in the October

sun, "oh sweet thing", he sings to me,

"you're the only one."

I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone

I need an island, somewhere to bury you,

somewhere

I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone

I need an island, somewhere to bury you,

somewhere to go

And I don't know why I can't tell my sister

He spat in my face again, and I don't want

to die here. You know that dream when

your feet won't move, you want to come

but your body won't let you. He steals it

from me. He steals it from me. It shines

like sweat, like jewels, like something that

has died too soon, He fucks with the

beauty. A kiss, a kick, a kiss, a kick, a kiss

kiss kick. He steals it from me. It's out of

my hands again.

I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone

I need an island, somewhere to bury you,

somewhere to go, to go...
