| [00:20.61] |
They say there's an underground river, |
| [00:23.05] |
|
| [00:24.16] |
That none of us can see, |
| [00:25.85] |
|
| [00:27.79] |
And it flows through winding tunnels, |
| [00:29.78] |
|
| [00:31.59] |
On its way to a tide-less sea. |
| [00:33.52] |
|
| [00:35.15] |
And across that sea is an island, |
| [00:37.09] |
|
| [00:38.20] |
A paradise we are told, |
| [00:41.20] |
|
| [00:42.63] |
Where the toils of life are forgotten, |
| [00:44.69] |
|
| [00:46.32] |
And they call it the Island of Souls. |
| [00:48.19] |
|
| [00:50.31] |
For only a soul can go there, |
| [00:52.25] |
|
| [00:53.75] |
A soul that's been set free, |
| [00:56.11] |
|
| [00:57.48] |
From the confines of a working life, |
| [00:59.42] |
|
| [01:01.29] |
To find eternity. |
| [01:02.48] |
|
| [01:04.52] |
Your old man had a cage for his pigeons, |
| [01:06.52] |
|
| [01:08.21] |
But that's really where he kept his soul, |
| [01:09.76] |
|
| [01:11.82] |
And when he watched them fly he would see himself, |
| [01:14.44] |
|
| [01:16.25] |
Least that's how it was told. |
| [01:17.44] |
|
| [01:19.37] |
But his soul was still trapped in the cage son, |
| [01:22.24] |
|
| [01:23.05] |
While the birds they soared to the sky, |
| [01:25.56] |
|
| [01:29.36] |
But he couldn't find his own way out, |
| [01:31.04] |
|
| [01:32.79] |
Least not 'til the day he died. |
| [01:34.54] |
|
| [01:36.03] |
Oh, a man builds a cage with the tools he is given, |
| [01:38.84] |
|
| [01:39.65] |
His casket is sealed with a riveter's gun, |
| [01:42.28] |
|
| [01:43.52] |
This solitary madness is where he is driven, |
| [01:45.96] |
|
| [01:47.14] |
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage son, |
| [01:50.32] |
|
| [01:52.69] |
It was him that was trapped in the soul cage. |
| [01:56.12] |
|
| [02:01.87] |
I know that he loved you, but he hadn't the words, |
| [02:04.92] |
|
| [02:05.99] |
He'd be easier speaking the language of birds, |
| [02:08.73] |
|
| [02:09.60] |
For to speak of emotion, it just wasn't done, |
| [02:12.29] |
|
| [02:12.97] |
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage son, |
| [02:16.47] |
|
| [02:18.72] |
It was him that was trapped in the soul cage. |
| [02:22.46] |
|
| [02:24.08] |
A man builds a cage with the tools he is given, |
| [02:27.32] |
|
| [02:27.89] |
His casket is sealed with a riveter's gun, |
| [02:30.57] |
|
| [02:31.69] |
The solitary madness is where he is driven, |
| [02:34.25] |
|
| [02:35.25] |
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage son, |
| [02:38.50] |
|
| [02:40.80] |
It was him that was trapped in the soul cage. |
