martin hagfors - looking for an island lyrics

[verse 1]
looking for an island
just a spot on the sea
i’m looking for an island
well, it used to be
well, it used to be…
just a spot on the sea
back when it used to be
i saw newborn babies
and kids naked in the wind
divers in their fifties
who walk as they would swim
they could walk but rather swim
you could see it on their skin
they could walk but rather swim

[chorus]
we can’t find it now
it must have washed away somehow
with all the beauty it was endowed, into the sea abound

[verse 2]
with all this water and the brine on the stones
you’d think we’d heed the warnings
the more we are informed
we start wars like desert storm
when the nile is a norm
we will not reform
we will not reform
rivers in alasca flowing wide and running fast
houses on the deltas become toll ships without mass
like toll ships without mass
in the blue eyes melting fast
all of that rolled into the past
[chorus]
we can’t find it now
it must have washed away somehow
with all the beauty it was endowed, into the sea abound
we can’t find it now
it must have washed away somehow
even the sands are blackened now, like the seas we calm

[verse 3]
catch your garlic, norway
’cause oil’s on its breath
we like to think we’re different
but we just like to rest
we believe in our success
with the oil on our breath
how we leave behind a mess
yeah, we leave behind a mess…
