lyrics

Down on Oblegone Island
we'll take the fronds in our hands
And I'll teach you how to play guitar
and you'll tell me all your wild plans
Wrap me up
& send me down
like Moses on the Nile
I feel so old,
so left alone
I'm still a child

The palms and firs and the springtime
will eat away at our souls
and replace with statues and fruits of
the trees we climbed for so long
And yet we toast
to good health
and too many more
All that wealth
That platinum belt
that holds up crows

And rows of people look
down like when
that holy Moses shook
ground like

Down by water so still your
reflection I swear it did wink
And you nod right back as if all was
forgiven in one instant
We rolled down
those hills so small,
yet they seem so big
The grass it flows
into one firing node
And just as soon you sink

And rows of people look
down like when
that holy Moses shook
ground like
And all the people look
down like when
that holy Moses took
ground like

Down by Oblegone Island
we'll build a raft and let it go
and watch it float down the river
and finally stop when it snows
