This Island Life Lyrics - New Times - Violent Femmes

This tea's too strong for me as I await your company 

I had too much sun today 

Ocean waters wash away 

Nothing but the present presenting its presence 

This island life 

Separate my right from my wrong 

No, I am not pagan but my heart has been forsaken 

And the hand of God was on my mind 

It took some time from time to time 

Now in the course I know time itself will go 

This island life 

Separates my right from my wrong 

You forgot your shoes and I, I have sent a message but I 

So many stars in the sky 

It's the truths that will not lie 

There's a young wild native maiden running mad and barefoot to the sea 

Until this island life 

Separates my rights from my wrongs 

This island life 

Finally separates my rights from my wrong 

This tea's too strong for me as I await more company 

I had too much sun today 

Dream of lands lying far away 

Pregnant with the present presenting its presents 

This island life 

Separate my right from my wrong 

This island life 

Separate my rights from my song 

Separate my right from my wrong 

Separate my right from my wrong 

Separate my right from my wrong 

(Separate my right from my wrong)
