The Island The Decemberists

[The Island]
There's an island hidden in the sound
Lapping currents lay your boat to ground
Affix your barb and bayonet
The curlews carve their Arabesques
And sorrow fills the silence all around
You come and see

There's a harbor lost within the reeds
A jetty caught in over-hanging trees
Among the bones of cormorants
No boot-mark here nor fingerprints
The rivers roll down to a soundless sea

[Come and see]
[Chorus]
You come and see
Come and see-e-e
The tides will come and go
Witnessed by no waking eye
The willows mark the wind
And all we know for sure amidst this fading light
We'll not go home again

[Post Chorus]
Come and see-e-e-e
Come and see-e-e-e-e-e
