Island

Denison Marrs


This for all the things too hard to say 
you know my way... 
it's just my way 

restless, tense, and shifting in my seat 
changing times fight bottom lines fight dreams 
and darlin' you won't hear my voice tonight 
even that is held just out of reach 

(chorus) 
but if you should wake one day to find 
you don't see yourself as mine 
if you should need to leave my side 
you'd leave a better man behind 

all i've seen and known i would make ours 
but for each thing that blesses, more leave scars 
and baby, we could just stay home tonight 
i found some softness in world so hard 

no one sees us making this 
i feel it, and see it in their eyes 
but i won't lose sleep if when they see you 
they don't see me 
i won't mind 

i found an island in a sea of failing coals 
a fire that never dies before it's grown 
and i'm just another soul that's come in from the cold 
seeking shelter from the coming storms
