Riff A
I was first attracted by your scent
Your heart must be a caramelized onion
By the time I saw your flame
it was all over for you and whashisname.

Riff B

Riff A
I think it was Algonquin Park
It was so cold and winter-dark
A promised hibernation high
took me across the great black plate of ice.

Riff B
Now I'm the Islander.

Riff A

Riff A
I found a place to call my den
and dreamt of the Ferry and
the Enormous Man
Huge as were his children
following around after him

Riff B
I'm the Islander

Riff A

G5                     A5
woke up in the furtive Spring more capable of anything

Riff B

Riff A
I waited for more men to come
They docked their boats and cocked their guns
The time for truth and reconciliation's gone
But with my belly full I intended to get
something done

Riff B
I'm the Islander

Riff A

G                      A                           Riff B
woke up in the dead of spring more hungry than anything
G      A
Islander 

Riff B
Riff A
