Tales of the islander
Tales of you and me
Floating on our raft

Down the Mother Mississippi
Caught myself a fever
Took a hospital stay

Tied some sheets together
Crawled down and was on my way
I was on my way


Let's take to the water
Let our bodies roam free

No more taste or smell
No hear nor see
Then greet the morning star

As we dance along the beach
Embrace this mighty sunrise
As the cranes fly to meet it

Cranes rise to meet it

Birds call to me

They call
They call to me
They call so deep

Got to feel it all
No time for sleep
No time at all

When they call
They call to me
They call so deep

Got to feel it all
No time for sleep
No time at all


We found a paradise
And it's own garden gate

Adam in a hat on a rowboat
Phosphorescence in the wake
The squall has passed

And we're tied to the decay
One day may the hurricanes come
And carry us away

Carry us away

Waves call to me

They call
They call to me
They call so deep

Got to feel it all
No time for sleep
No time at all

When they call
They call to me
They call so deep

Got to feel it all
No time for sleep
No time at all


Give me a sunset
Of lilac, gold and green gray skies

I'll give you spirals and zig zag lines
It's the magic hour of a halcyon day
And all of mankind stands there

Barely awake

A full moon rising

On all of nature's powers
Stars just observers
Of zinnias and moonflowers

We could bathe in the nullah of a gulf stream
Prowl like cats in the night
Then transform like moths

In a chrysalis of light
Chrysalis of light


Moths call to me
They call
They call to me
They call so deep
Got to feel it all

No time for sleep
No time at all
When they call
They call to me
They call so deep

Got to feel it all
No time for sleep
No time at all
When they call
When they call
