《The Island》歌词

[00:00:00] The Island - Richard Shindell

[00:00:01] Written by：Richard Shindell

[00:00:11] Island life does have it's charms

[00:00:17] The constant sun the steady breeze

[00:00:23] Nothing ever happens here

[00:00:27] Few are those who do not fall

[00:00:29] Beneath the spell

[00:00:34] It's language is an orphan branch

[00:00:40] But one that I can understand

[00:00:47] It's cadence is familiar

[00:00:49] It shares the old declension from the continent

[00:00:57] I came here with a package deal

[00:01:01] Everything all prearranged

[00:01:04] Three nights at the grand hotel

[00:01:08] All the rooms

[00:01:10] Have ocean views

[00:01:21] By latitude and longitude

[00:01:27] Mariners will not arrive

[00:01:33] It's coordinates are plotted by

[00:01:36] It's relative position

[00:01:38] To the rising sea

[00:01:45] The lucky few who call it home

[00:01:50] Are prosperous and confident

[00:01:56] They manifest a certainty

[00:01:59] That come what may things will not be otherwise

[00:02:07] I came here with a package deal

[00:02:11] Everything all prearranged

[00:02:14] Three nights at the grand hotel

[00:02:18] Where all the rooms have ocean views

[00:02:54] Time is on the oceans side

[00:03:00] The beaches shift the cliffs erode

[00:03:05] Though the engineers do what they can

[00:03:09] Everyday another house just slides away

[00:03:16] I came here with a package deal

[00:03:21] Everything all prearranged

[00:03:23] Three nights at the grand hotel

[00:03:27] Where all the rooms have ocean views

[00:03:39] All the rooms

[00:03:42] Have ocean views
