Islands - Swans (Life After Death) lyrics

Swans swans swans

Sing songs

All night long

Who knew how warm the islands were?

While the frogs look on

It's what the birds prefer

And it's still warm after the sun has gone

I woke up thirsty the day I died

And the tide was swirling

My mouth is so dry

And all I see is sea

Two shining seas

Swans swans swans

Sing songs

All night long

And who knew how warm the islands would be?

And who knew how much the sky'd cover me?

It makes you forget what it means to be free

I climbed into the blowhole

In the ribs I found you

With a wick we lit a flame

Now look at the smoke that it blew

The mouth is so wide

Yet all I see is sea and azure sky

A little wave rin ebb tide

Rivers loeak

Salt seeps in

Heals wounds winds

Pry apart

Swans swans swans

Sing songs

'Til the morning dawned on us

And the sun smudged peach moon

Still hung loose

Bones bones bones

Grown homes

With the sparrows in the trees

We leave them for

They love the marrow

I'm thankful for my life.
