Lyrics

On a thousand islands in the sea  
I see a thousand people just like me  
A hundred unions in the snow  
I watch them walking, falling in a row  
We live always underground  
It's going to be so quiet in here tonight  
A thousand islands in the sea  
It's a shame  
  
And a hundred years ago  
A sailor trod this ground I stood upon  
Take me away everyone  
When it hurts thou  
  
From my head to my toes  
From the words in the book  
I see a vision that would bring me luck  
From my head to my toes  
To my teeth, through my nose  
You get these words wrong  
You get these words wrong  
Everytime  
You get these words wrong  
I just smile  
  
But from my head to my toes  
From my knees to my eyes  
Everytime I watch the sky  
For these last few days leave me alone  
But for these last few days leave me alone  
Leave me alone  
Leave me alone
