(H)Our Islands Lyrics

We came in from the cold
and doused ourselves in oils
We rose at dawn and sailed away
We laughed we cried we closed
our eyes to keep us warm

We held the skies apart
and tore down god and child
in a language of curse and song
and closed our sad hearts
and eyes to keep us warm

So lead me to your shore
Hold me under the water
Hold me asleep forever
