I have a hard hearted island Where I live alone I've seen my love grow big as a mountain And scatter like ashes and bones These things I have forgotten Memory I've left behind Something was always drifting away So I'll stay It may be the night it might be the morning Never again will I weep I've got the wind blowing beside me And the water to sing me to sleep That sky can do my crying Seasons can have my goodbyes The city can keep all its history And leave me I have been beat I'm not defeated Not bitter not bound and not meek When disappointed is a slow burning fire Let it drown under the sound of my feet
