The Cormorant
Simon Tong, Damon Albarn
[Verse 1]
Am I imprisoned on this island?
I have tried, I have tried to swim away
Out to the buoy
Ebony rose
But the current's too strong
I now drift, daydreaming
To when we were happy here, on this beach
We played with our children and they were happy too
[Verse 2]
Tipping goes the cormorant
I think she knows I'm a pathetic intruder
Into the abyss
And I have watched her too
From the stoney beach, mm
That was black in the last year before this snow
Elsewhere, somеtimes
I can see beyond the lighthousе
[Verse 3]
The uncharted cruise ship
Anchored way off
As though the last party on Earth
Continues to vast horizons
Container ships full of glass vials
Daily life
