Take me to the bay in darkness
Through this month of nights in one
They burned oil in the starless
Pitch of night, awaiting
And you're born
Dark gave way to dawn
They said you were a pearl
Found there on the earth
As you grew to a girl
And she faded from your life
And the current towed
You by its side
And the water sowed
A vision in your mind
Go to the bend
Know where it ends
She's an islander and she longs to be
To be in the world she used to be
When she was a girl and she left to see
To see this world that we all see
The hares ran in the wood,
No faster than your mind
Could carry you away
To the world you longed to find
And you chose to hide
In the mountain's edge
‘Til it burned
A vision in your head
Go to descend
Know where it ends
She's an islander and she longs to be
To be in the world she used to be
When she was a girl and she left to see
To see this world that we all see
And they rose
Until we heard them roar
And they burned
Until they could burn no more
