Текст песни Decemberists - The Island Come And See

2. The Island: Come and See/The Landlord's Daughter/You'll Feel Not the Drowning

There's an island hidden in the sound
Lapping currents lay your boat aground 
Affix your barb and bayonet
The curlews carve their arabesques
And sorrow fills the silence all around
Come and see 

There's a harbor lost within the reeds
A jetty caught in over-hanging trees
Among the bones of cormorants
No boot-mark here nor fingerprint
The rivers roll down to a soundless sea
Come and see
Come and see 

The tides all come and go witnessed by no waking eye
The willows mark the wind
And all we know for sure amidst this fading light
We'll not go home again
Come and see
Come and see 

In the lowlands, nestled in the heath
 briar-cradle rocks its babe to sleep
Its contents watched by Sycorax
And Patagon in parallax
A foretold rumbling sounds below the deep         
Come and see
Come and see 

The tides all come and go witnessed by no waking eye
The willows mark the wind
And all we know for sure amidst this fading light
We'll not go home again
Come and see
Come and see

*The Landlords Daughter*

As I was a-ramble down by the water
I spied in sable the landlord's daughter 
I produced my pistol, then my saber
Said, "Make no whistle or thou will be murdered!"

La-Ha-Ha      La-Ha
She cursed, she shivered, she cried for mercy
"My gold and silver if thou will release me!"

I'll take no gold, miss. I'll take no silver.
But I'll take those sweet lips and thou will deliver!

La-Ha-Ha      La-Ha 

*You'll Feel Not the Drowning*

I will dress your eyelids
With dimes upon your eyes
Lay you close to water
Green your grave will rise 

Go to sleep now, little ugly
Go to sleep now, you little fool
Forty winking in the belfry
You'll not feel the drowning
       +
You'll not feel the drowning

Forget you once had sweethearts
They've forgotten you
Think you not on parents
They've forgotten too 

Go to sleep now, little ugly
Go to sleep now, you little fool
Forty winking in the belfry
You'll not feel the drowning
       +
You'll not feel the drowning

Hear you now the captain
Heave his sorrowed cry
The weight upon your eyelids
Is dimes laid on your eyes
