Trembling Blue Stars

This Once Was An Island

Album: The Last Holy Writer [2007]
Author: Robert James Wratten

A coastal road at night

Leading to a Spanish Shipwreck

A constellation of lights

A flood of something so right

So right

Like stepping into a dream

And is this place here when we leave?

This once was an island 

This once was an island

A pipeline under the ocean 

A painted angel’s kisses

The wind outside the window 

A desert under darkness

Like stepping into a dream

And is this place here when we leave?

This once was an island 

This once was an island

The Snowflakes,1908

The team looks to the camera

The whistle of a train

Like a warm embrace

Shields her, makes her feel safe.

Like stepping into a dream

And is this place here when we leave?

This once was an island 

This once was an island
