Seven Island Suite

Seven islands to the high side of the bay Cross the bay To the sunset through the blue light Of a fiery autumn haze We went walkin' on the high side of the bay On a chilly morn And we saw how leaves had fallen on the beds Where trees are born Any man in his right mind Could not fail to be made aware Any woman with a gift of wisdom Would not seek her answers there Seven islands to the high side of the bay If you're lookin' west To the sunset you can see it All in fiery autumn dress Anytime would be the right time To come up to your bed of boughs Anybody with a wish to wander Could not fail but to be aroused Livin' high in the city Guess you think it's a pretty good way You get to learn but when you get burned You got nothin' to say You seem to think because you got chicken to go You're in luck Fortune will not find you In your mansion or your truck Brothers will desert you When you're down and shit out of luck Look around at the mornin' Guess you're doin' the best you can Surely you know that when you go Nobody gives you a hand Think of the air you're breathin' in Think of the time you waste Think of the right and wrong And consider the frown on your face It's time you tried livin' on the high side of the bay You need a rest Any woman or a man with a wish to fade away Could be so blessed Fortune will not find you In your mansion turned to gold Brothers will desert you When your nights turn long and cold If you feel it you better believe it You're gonna see it, you really know It is risin' like a feather Dippin' and dancin' from below There's a new wave that is breakin' In the wake of the pa*sin' ship Every nation's gonna be shaken Put it together, don't let it slip It's time you tried livin' on the high side of the bay You need a rest Any man or a woman with a wish to fade away Could be so blessed Seven islands to the high side of the bay Cross the bay To the sunset through the blue light Of a fiery autumn haze To the sunset through the blue light Of a fiery autumn haze
