Beach House Turtle Island Lyrics

Turtle Island Lyrics

Down the hill I’d hoped that I’d find 

Something I could rest my hands
on

In the distance sun is setting

Feel I’m jumping over hedges



By the dock of the pond Turtle Island

I will wait for you there
creeping silently

I can keep you right behind me all my days in the…



In the waters tracing features

Did they scare hardened
creatures?

In that murky green reflection

Did they warn you of
dissection?



How, what, why, when?



By the dock of the
pond Turtle Island

I will wait for you there creeping silently

I
can keep you right behind me all my days in the…



How I want Olive
(our love) to know 

That inside me she will always grow

In all
colors and sizes

You will always remain



By the dock of the
pond Turtle Island

By the dock of the pond Turtle Island

I can keep
you right behind me all my days in the sun
