Swim to the island Surrounded by the tide One half drowning The other one alive Oh, an awful long way to go Oh, an awful long time ago Hold for the island The seer in the sky Gently drowning Your tiny yellow eyes Oh, an awful long way to go Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, my soul Be clean once more My soul Once more be clean Even on the island Night is gonna fall Sunset's burning Underneath it all Oh, an awful long way to go Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, my soul Be clean once more My soul Once more be clean My soul Be clean once more My soul Once more be clean My soul Once more be clean
