An Island Surrounded by Land
You're an outport fishing village where the fish no longer swim
Where the ferries don't remember how to navigate the shoals
So there's been no mail and no supplies since 1983
You're an island surrounded by land
Held in place
Surrounded by land
I'm a prairie railway station where the tracks are overgrown
Where a canopy of weeds obscures the roads in or out
And the wind that barrels from the north is the only noise I hear
I'm an island surrounded by land
By a wall of world
Surrounded by land
Ah but wait a minute
Wait a million years
Let tectonic movements tear the world apart
Ride out the tremors
Ride out the violence
Inch a little closer
Oh we'll inch a little closer
Break free from our mooring
And inch a little closer
And we'll try
We'll try to collide
We'll try, we'll try, we'll try to collide
Oh we'll try, we'll try to collide
Oh we'll try, we'll try to collide
Where the ferries don't remember how to navigate the shoals
So there's been no mail and no supplies since 1983
You're an island surrounded by land
Held in place
Surrounded by land
I'm a prairie railway station where the tracks are overgrown
Where a canopy of weeds obscures the roads in or out
And the wind that barrels from the north is the only noise I hear
I'm an island surrounded by land
By a wall of world
Surrounded by land
Ah but wait a minute
Wait a million years
Let tectonic movements tear the world apart
Ride out the tremors
Ride out the violence
Inch a little closer
Oh we'll inch a little closer
Break free from our mooring
And inch a little closer
And we'll try
We'll try to collide
We'll try, we'll try, we'll try to collide
Oh we'll try, we'll try to collide
Oh we'll try, we'll try to collide
