Heather Nova Island Lyrics

Island Lyrics

There are parts of me he’ll never know,

My wild horses and my river
beds,

And in my throat voices he’ll never hear.

He pulls at me
like a cherry tree,

And I can still move, but I don’t speak about
it.

Pretend I’m crazy, pretend I’m dead.

He’s to scared to
hit me now, he’ll bring flowers istead.



I need an island,
somewhere to sink a stone

I need an island, somewhere to bury you,

Somewhere to go.



And the dogwoods shimmer in october sun,

’oh sweet thing’ he sings to me,

’you’re the only one.’



I need an island, somewhere to sink a stone

I need an island,
somewhere to bury you, somewhere

I need an island, somewhere to sink a
stone

I need an island, somewhere to bury you, somewhere to go.



And I don’t know why I can’t tell my sister,

He spat in my face
again, and I don’t want to die here.

You know that dream when your feet
won’t move,

You want to come but your body won’t let you.

He
steals it from me.he steals it from me.

It shines like sweat, like
jewels,

Like something that has died to soon.

He fucks with the
beauty.

A kiss, a kick, a kiss, a kick, a kiss kiss kick.

He steals
it from me.

It’s out of my hands again.



I need an island,
somewhere to sink a stone

I need an island, somewhere to bury you,

Somewhere to go, to go...
