My Island
I'm not coming back
I'm sailing away on my little blue boat
I'm up on the waves
and my sail is full out
I'm off to a land
that's completely my own
I'm far put to sea
And I'm not coming back
The deep of the fathomless
sea draws me on
neither behemoth
nor fury of storm
can make me quake or shrink from my task
I'm going away
and I'm not coming back
I can see my land
that was once just a dream
my great big nice monsters
the sands and the trees
they tower above me
and offer their hands
to guide me away
to my faraway land
I'm not coming back
tell momma i'm fine
I've so many friendly good beasts
I dont mind
I miss you, you know
but Ill wait for you here
where the juniper sleeps
and the sad trees drip tears
my little blue boat
has drifted away
We looked so hard for it
I guess I can stay
my nice beasties can keep me
warm, fed, and dry
I love you alot
you know that as I
I'm not coming back
this must be goodbye
