Fair

Yeah, I’m like an island with no leave Direction with no destination A tremendous distance from where I’d belonged so long Once a deep-rooted tree, exemplary in foundation Now amputated, indeed from my haven Once quite fair and desired This road’s got me withered and tired And Im longing for the coast in A tone I’d never thought possible How the melody of the sea has abandoned me! Once I dug my heels in and traveled far Now progress has delivered me hardly at all If these prints were pods of salt and water I’d be home alike my mothers daughter And I’m longing for the coat in A tone I’d never thought possible How the melody of the sea has abandoned me!
