Lucky Mud - The Earth Is an Island lyrics



the earth is an island in a big, black sea
A port for all sailors and spices and me
Shipwrecked and lonely, we watch helplessly
As stars ride the curve of infinity

Filling my pockets with pieces of string
I bought a mansion just to sit in the swing
And rock to-and-fro, wordlessly singing
On the arm of an oak, in the bosom of Spring

Maybe Delilah thought it was worth it
She said, "I just didn't like that long hair."
And maybe Icarus thought it was worth it
Just seeing the world from up there

He said, "Life ain't a round-trip ticket,
At best, it's a license to fly
I could've instead, made an nice feather bed
And in it, just curl up and die"

But life ain't a round trip ticket
At best, it's a ticket to ride
You can see lots of things when you spread your wings
And live with your eyes open wide

.......

Life ain't a round-trip ticket
At best, it's a hell of a ride
You may not get as far as touching the stars
But they sure look pretty at night

The earth is an island in a big, black sea
A port for all sailors and spices and me......
