Michael Franks - Island Life (Studio Version)

Shadorma

it's sunday today
rained and the plants smiled
steamy scent
a nice way
to observe the sabbath day
soaking up the wet

Cast Away

her small photo
glimmering in the fire light
kept him alive
all those years



thoughts of her as
the waves pounded the shore
night after night
in desperate loneliness
gave him hope
to carry on
to escape from the island
to be with her once more
somehow




reality changed all that
she had become bound up
in all the social conventions
a new husband a child a house

torn and tempted  to return to
the love of her life
she found
the comfortable chains of obligation just too tight
they could not be broken
so she buried him
again
for a second time

captain louis renault of

with yvonne the night club singer
the start of a
beautiful new friendship

she walks into mine
gets sloshed in another gin joint 
thinking of ilse
as time goes by

Liverpool Plains NSW

earmarked for destruction
prehistoric and worth a look
before it is mined



beauty disappears
ripped apart because of man's
rapacious nature
