Over three mountains; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across three seas <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is an island (oh please)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On that island and through three trees (right here)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was a group of people not fond of the sea<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They wanted water inside; not out<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They told of geysers that always spout <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They spout they say \u201cwhen we come near\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and yet they say to never be they redeem <\/p>\n\n\n\n

and yet, and yet it always seems<\/p>\n\n\n\n

they never get to leave (oy, vey)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

they always want, but never get to say;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(chorus)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“oh let us leave, let us find <\/p>\n\n\n\n

the one we will want to bind”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

please let us leave they say<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They never let it happen anyway<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cajon solo <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The island was gloomy always<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting the peoples self <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish this story not to shelf <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As it will be mine<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They couldn’t build a boat<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yet, and yet, \u201cit will not float\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And on that day <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They sit and say;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(chorus)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“oh let us leave, let us find <\/p>\n\n\n\n

the one we will want to bind”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

please let us leave they say<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They never let it happen anyway<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10,20,80 years later <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They only learned how to hate \u2018er<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By her i mean the leader there<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The revolution that followed <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Destroyed the island \u201cin the mud they wollo\u2019ed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The people, the people didn’t  swim<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They treaded until it all went dim<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(final chorus)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yet, and yet they never find<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ones they want to bind<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
