[00:02.21][Come & See]
[02:07.33]
[02:13.16]There's an island hidden in the sound
[02:20.77]Lapping currents lay your boat aground
[02:28.53]Affix your barb and bayonet
[02:31.94]The curlews carve their arabesques
[02:36.31]And sorrow fills the silence all around
[02:43.58]Come and see
[02:47.87]
[02:51.73]There's a harbor lost within the reeds
[02:59.32]A jetty caught in overhanging trees
[03:07.50]Among the bones of cormorants
[03:10.45]No boot-mark here nor fingerprint
[03:14.79]The rivers roll down to a soundless sea
[03:22.80]Come and see
[03:29.78]Come and see
[03:36.28]
[03:41.91]The tides all come and go
[03:47.10]Witnessed by no waking eye
[03:50.98]The willows mark the wind
[03:56.91]And all we know for sure
[04:02.47]Amidst this fading light
[04:06.35]We'll not go home again
[04:12.25]Come and see
[04:19.92]Come and see
[04:28.39]
[04:36.40]In the lowlands, nestled in the heath
[04:43.54]A briar-cradle rocks its babe to sleep
[04:51.25]Its contents watched by Sycorax
[04:54.71]And Patagon in parallax
[04:59.00]A foretold rumbling sounds below the deep
[05:06.20]Come and see
[05:13.95]Come and see
[05:20.60]
[05:26.60]The tides all come and go
[05:31.34]Witnessed by no waking eye
[05:35.18]The willows mark the wind
[05:41.42]And all we know for sure
[05:46.74]Amidst this fading light
[05:50.50]We'll not go home again
[05:56.44]Come and see
[06:04.70]Come and see
[06:12.40]
[06:12.71][The Landlord's Daughter]
[06:25.99]
[06:26.88]As I was a-ramble
[06:30.39]Down by the water
[06:33.90]I spied in sable
[06:37.46]The landlord's daughter
[06:40.95]
[06:51.60]I produced my pistol
[06:55.10]Then my saber
[06:58.54]Said, "Make no whistle,
[07:02.00]Or thou will be murdered!"
[07:06.52]
[07:30.19]She cursed, she shivered
[07:33.69]She cried for mercy
[07:37.23]"My gold and silver,
[07:40.72]If thou will release me!"
[07:44.33]
[08:26.72]"I'll take no gold, miss.
[08:30.20]I'll take no silver
[08:33.52]But I'll take those sweet lips
[08:37.50]And thou will deliver!"
[08:42.36]
[09:08.55][You'll Not Feel The Drowning]
[09:37.66]
[09:38.26]I will dress your eyelids
[09:42.51]W' dimes upon your eyes
[09:47.10]Lay you close to water
[09:51.57]Green your grave will rise
[09:55.58]
[09:56.51]Go to sleep now, little ugly
[10:00.96]Go to sleep now, you little fool
[10:05.49]Forty winking in the belfry
[10:09.55]You'll not feel the drowning
[10:13.95]You'll not feel the drowning
[10:18.71]
[10:25.73]Forget you once had sweethearts
[10:30.26]They've forgotten you
[10:34.83]Think you not on parents
[10:39.39]They've forgotten too
[10:42.87]
[10:44.54]Go to sleep now, little ugly
[10:49.10]Go to sleep now, you little fool
[10:53.69]Forty winking in the belfry
[10:57.63]You'll not feel the drowning
[11:02.10]You'll not feel the drowning
[11:07.44]
[11:32.46]Go to sleep now, little ugly
[11:36.99]Go to sleep now, little fool
[11:41.46]Forty winking in the belfry
[11:45.35]You'll not feel the drowning
[11:49.78]You'll not feel the drowning
[11:55.35]
[12:01.47]Hear you now the captain
[12:05.80]Heave his sorrow'd cry
[12:10.22]"The weight upon your eyelids
[12:14.60]Is dimes laid on your eyes"
