Dappled Cities - Slow for Me, My Island lyrics

Hopefully my island will be the one I wanted it to be Built around virgin milestones to be the one I wanted it to be Sounds that I have learnt Sound that I recall but I've never heard Write for me my biography To tell the things I never got to be Simple things like Islands Simple things like feeling safe with me While most of this was silent o Most of it was slow for me Building up my island saves me from idle mistakes Being gay for celebration saves me from this disappearing trace And I used to wake up and be disappointed That all the things I wanted to be Were slow for me and my island But stay true in your bandaged way
