John Boyle Island (Wampum)

from Wampum by Eastern Phoebes

	/

lyrics

got in my kayak and went//to John Boyle Island and spent//all of my wampum on your love//the natives they dared me to do it//the shorebirds all knew I'd get through it//I save all my wampum for our love//took out my old motorboat//to John Boyle Island and wrote//ten songs about my frustration//the wind's my only inspiration//the sun gods all knew that I'd blow it//the natives don't care but they show it//I save all my wampum for your love//there goes what's left of my virtues//I'm crawling out of the fog//got in my kayak and left//John Boyle Island a wreck//I save all my wampum for your love//there goes what's left of my virtues.
