Ballad of the Lost by Kyle Robert Davidson

Over three mountains; 

Across three seas 

There is an island (oh please)

On that island and through three trees (right here)

Was a group of people not fond of the sea

They wanted water inside; not out

They told of geysers that always spout 

They spout they say “when we come near”

and yet they say to never be they redeem 

and yet, and yet it always seems

they never get to leave (oy, vey)

they always want, but never get to say;

(chorus)

“oh let us leave, let us find 

the one we will want to bind”

please let us leave they say

They never let it happen anyway

Cajon solo 

The island was gloomy always

Reflecting the peoples self 

I wish this story not to shelf 

As it will be mine

They couldn’t build a boat

And yet, and yet, “it will not float”

And on that day 

They sit and say;

(chorus)

“oh let us leave, let us find 

the one we will want to bind”

please let us leave they say

They never let it happen anyway

10,20,80 years later 

They only learned how to hate ‘er

By her i mean the leader there

The revolution that followed 

Destroyed the island “in the mud they wollo’ed

The people, the people didn’t  swim

They treaded until it all went dim

(final chorus)

And yet, and yet they never find

The ones they want to bind
