Crusoe lyrics

Oh, you're saying it's time to go

You've overstayed your welcome

The wind is right, tide is at sail

Far across some ocean

And take a look in through your window,1 babe

At what I want you see

There's a storm in there a-raging

Too soon to set out to sea

Crusoe was a man who sailed away

'Til he could sail no further

He set away on oaths and waves

That with2 time only had the answer

And you seem many storms a friend

Before you reach that island

So stay with me a while

Until the storm is over

You ask yourself if you've been here before

Are they your footprints there, below you?

You've been this way so many times, oh

You know the road that lies before you

And you just say there's nothing for new

There's nothing you can alter

And your words they've lost their power

To touch those who can help you

Oh, you're saying it's time to go

You've overstayed your welcome

The wind is right, tide is at sail

Far across some ocean

And take a look in through your wind, babe

At what I want you see

There's a storm in there a-raging

Too soon to set out to sea

1. [d] sounds so distinctive because she swallows the last syllable 2. it's not the first time I've heard Scottish singers pronounce "with" like "which"
