Am I imprisoned on this island? I have tried, I have tried to swim away Out to the buoy Ebony rose But the current's too strong I now drift, daydreaming To when we were happy here, on this beach We played with our children, they were happy too ♪ Tipping goes the cormorant I think she knows I'm a pathetic intruder Into the abyss And I have watched her too From the stoney beach, mmm That was black in the last year before this snow ♪ Elsewhere sometimes I can see beyond the lighthouse The uncharted cruise ship Anchored way off ♪ As though the last party on Earth Continues to vast horizons Container ships full of glass vials ♪ Daily life
