Take me down to the waterline
Take me down to the sea
Watch me load up the cargo
And wave goodbye to me
The sun rises over the sails
Salt water kisses your knees
Seagulls follow the trawler
Breathe, baby, breathe
The new islands
They're coming right out of the water
The new islands
They're coming right out of the water
Skipping like a stone
It's rum, old bread and canasta
The only question worth asking:
Will it make the boat go faster
The third day's always the hardest
You can make it three days you can make it a year
I see clouds break over peaks in the distance
No fear, no fear, they're here...
The new islands
They're coming right out of the water
The new islands
They're coming right out of the water
Don't look back, you never look back
The bigger the wake you know the faster the past catches up
The new islands
They're coming right out of the water
The new islands
They're coming right out of the water
