Lucette Stranded On The Island Lyrics - Have You In My Wilderness - Julia Holter

I call my name 

Aloud 

Looking for what I remember 

My name I know 

I love going to the movies 

I turn and see my childhood home 

On this new beach 

Where strange birds fly 

These birds swoop right over 

Looking out for me 

"Who is she?" 

"Where does she come from?" 

The building disappears 

"Oh she's been marooned 

Can anybody help her?" 

The sun comes up 

Slower than I remember 

A man I know 

He lights his cigarette with nothing 

Not a smile or memory 

His shadow still wet as my gash against the rock 

Sharp and high on the Balearic promontory 

I see his ship go 

What stings me? 

These birds can't stop the waves 

"Oh she's been marooned 

Can anybody help her?" 

The birds can sing a song 

He covered me in cactus 

I don't remember much but 

Good riddance he is gone 

He put me ashore 

At 4 am 

The man is gone 

Good riddance he is gone 

His billcaught their eyes 

Blood is on his bill 

His bill caught my neck 

How unnaturally I gaze 

I don't remember much but 

He turned me around 

My mouth quivered 

Perpetually alarmed 

I gaze at nothing 

My emerald is gone 

He lifts my hand 

I hear him
