Eggy > Songs > Island Afterlife > Lyrics


    All my friends came at last to see me, one twice lost lovers, too

    We lost touch years ago, but you’re here, oh look at you

    I wish I could tell you something, I wish I could find the words

    But my spirit is indomitable, bound by a body, I know could never be stirred



    Living as a ghost on an island, I’m a servant to her tropical breeze

    She swings me like a shave-faced sailor, in the arms of his shoreward squeeze

    Nothing to fear, nothing to lose, I can’t be held down by the things I used to

    All of this time I spent waiting on you, in hopes to find out what I already knew



    Hallowed by the will to wander, find a little love for your pride

    It’s hard for me to sit in wonder as a ghost on the Island Afterlife

    I’ve seen you wish away the wild, why do you litter when you think you’re alone?

    It’s so splendid we’re pretending but you can’t hide from no ghost



    Little shack baby, digging the beach boys, she seeks a painting that can capture your soul

    Just to feel closer than a distant memory that ages with your mind when you’re old

    Living as a ghost on an island, caught between the sky and the day

    All of my love to the person I was and the people still finding their way
