The Road To The Isles - Sydney MacEwan

Save me from drowning in the sea Beat me up on the beach What a lovely holiday There's nothing funny left to say This sombre song won't drain the sun But it won't shine until it's sung No water running in the stream The saddest place we've ever seen Everything I touched was golden Everything I loved got broken On the road to mandalay Every mistake I've ever made Has been rehashed and then replayed As I got lost along the way Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom badom There's nothing left for you to give The truth is all that you're left with Twenty paces then at dawn We will die and be reborn I like to sleep beneath the trees Have the universe at one with me Look down the barrel of a gun And feel the moon replace the sun Everything we've ever stolen Has been lost, returned or broken No more dragons left to slay Every mistake I've ever made Has been rehashed and then replayed As I got lost along the way Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom badom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom badom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom Bom badom Save me from drowning in the sea Beat me up on the beach What a lovely holiday There's nothing funny left to say

There's no silver or gold in the stars that we're told Now we're walking down the road to heaven I took no advice, set my sights Further down the road to heaven And all my life I've been running after Horizons and skies Little did you roam the pasture With a moon on your way The hour's getting late, I'm climbing up a gate I'm knocking on the door to heaven Haze the cupboard walls, your pictures hung in all Won't you open up my eyes to heaven? Come on, open up my eyes to heaven And all my life I've been running after Horizons and skies Little did you roam the pasture With a moon on your way Well, take me to your room with flowers in bloom And every sight's like any morning Come on, lay me down Yeah, put me in a cloud And let it linger off ever after Yeah, let it linger off ever after
