Bannerman's Island

from Thanksgiving by The Whale & The Warbler

/

lyrics

Follow me, we're going south along the winding Hudson. Hold tight to the river's bends I found a little island there where we'll be safe from all the foxes still and waiting. They're licking at their spit-soaked teeth, they feel our little bodies breath. We'll leave them in the dancing shadows of the pine trees, in the wind atop the mountain's peak, with our worries and our stash of seeds. We'll let the waves absorb the sounds from all the earthquakes, the echoes that keep you awake, the crickets and the quiet. And you can be the queen of all these flies and spiders, the old stone and its thunder, the castle's finally ours, my dear. With my sword I'll try to fight off all the freight trains. I'll keep you safe from lightning. I'll wrap you up and stop your shakes.

We'll be safe here on Bannerman's Island.
