2. The Island: Come and See/The Landlord's Daughter/You'll Feel Not the Drowning
INTRO
Em
VERSE 1
There's an island hidden in the sound
Lapping currents lay your boat aground
G
Affix your barb and bayonet
A Bb
The curlews carve their arabesques
Em
And sorrow fills the silence all around
Come and see
VERSE 2
There's a harbor lost within the reeds
A jetty caught in over-hanging trees
G
Among the bones of cormorants
A Bb
No boot-mark here nor fingerprint
Em
The rivers roll down to a soundless sea
Come and see
G G/F# Em
Come and see
CHORUS
D C
The tides all come and go witnessed by no waking eye
Em D C
The willows mark the wind
Em D C
And all we know for sure amidst this fading light
Em D C
We'll not go home again
B7 C
Come and see
B7 C D Em
Come and see
VERSE 3
In the lowlands, nestled in the heath
A briar-cradle rocks its babe to sleep
G
Its contents watched by Sycorax
A Bb
And Patagon in parallax
Em
A foretold rumbling sounds below the deep
Come and see
G G/F# Em
Come and see
CHORUS
D C
The tides all come and go witnessed by no waking eye
Em D C
The willows mark the wind
Em D C
And all we know for sure amidst this fading light
Em D C
We'll not go home again

Come and see
