Bateau Lyrics

Bateau

Millions of diamonds but worth so much more, sparkling from shore to shore

The wind broken by islands that glow in the sun, they're the resting souls of the ancient ones

Out in the distance where the shipwrecks are old and the whitecaps break on the outer shoals

A day to remember or is it a dream as the clouds and the islands would have you believe

Oh, I'm a lucky man, the bay and the sky have taken my hand

The hourglass empties of sand for the island man

Murderer's Bay, half a day away, but only if you ramble

And when you get back you can sleep on a rock if you're willing and able

Island warriors have battled them all, standing long and gnarled and tall

Disappearing in the six foot swells as the dreamer rose and the dreamer fell

Oh, I'm a lucky man in this mystical bay and this mystical land

Oh, I'm a lonely man but the bay and the sky have taken my hand

Oh, I'm a resolute man, as the wind blows my dust in a circle of sand

Oh, I'm a changing now like the water wears the rock of the islands

Oh, I'm a lucky man in this mystical bay and this mystical land

Oh, I'm a lonely man but the bay and the sky have taken my hand

Oh, I'm a resolute man, as the wind blows my dust in a circle of sand

Oh, I'm a changing now like the water wears the rock of the islands
