Am I imprisoned on this island?

I have tried, I have tried to swim away

Out to the buoy

Ebony rose

But the current's too strong

I now drift, daydreaming

To when we were happy here, on this beach

We played with our children, they were happy too

Tipping goes the cormorant

I think she knows I'm a pathetic intruder

Into the abyss

But I have watched her too

From the stoney beach, mmm
That was black in the last year before this snow

Elsewhere sometimes

I can see beyond the lighthouse

The uncharted cruise ships

Anchored way off

As though the last party on Earth

Continues to vast horizons
Container ships full of glass vials, glass vials, glass vials

Thank you.
