Damon Albarn - The Nearer the Fountain, More Pure the Stream Flows (Deluxe)

The Cormorant

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
And 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 ship
Anchored way off

As though the last party on Earth
Continues to vast horizons
Container ships full of glass vials

Daily life
