The Decemberists - The Island: Come and See; The Landlord's Daughter; You'll Not Feel the Drowning lyrics

[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 Who rose like the wind Though 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 In the lowlands, nestled in the heat A brier cradle rocks its babe to sleep Its contents watched by Sycorax And patagon in paralax A foretold rumbling sounds below the deep [Chorus] You come and see Come and see-e-e The tides will come and go witnessed by no waking eye Who rose like the wind Though 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 [ The Landlord's Daughter] As I was rambled Down by the water I spied in sable The landlord's daughter Produced my pistol Then my saber To make no whistle Or thou will be murdered La-ord La-ord She cursed, she shivered She cried for mercy: "My gold and silver If thou will release me" La-ord La-ord La-ord I'll take no gold, miss I'll take no silver I'll take those sweet lips And I'll deliver La-ord La-ord [ You'll Not Feel the Drowning] I will dress your eyelids With dimes upon your eyes Laying close to water Green your grave will rise Go to sleep now little ugly Go to sleep now you little fool Forty-winking in the belfry You'll not feel the drowning You'll not feel the drowning Forget you once had sweethearts They've forgotten you Think you not on parents They've forgotten too Go to sleep now little ugly Go to sleep now you little fool Forty-winking in the belfry You'll not feel the drowning You'll not feel the drowning Go to sleep now little ugly Go to sleep now you little fool Forty-winking in the belfry You'll not feel the drowning You'll not feel the drowning Hear you now the captain Heed his sorrowed cry Weight upon your eyelids Is dimes laid on your eyes
