I want to rule the islands
And i want to rule the sea
But if you're not coming back
I will sleep eternally

I don't want no heavy diamonds
And pearls crush my teeth
I just want my sailor
To sail back to me
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/c/cat+power/islands_20516178.html ]
The captain has a treasure
Says i hold the key
But old mangroves
And sweet winds blow
Songs of you and me

I want to rule the islands
And i want to rule the sea
But if you're not coming back
I will sleep eternally
