Cat Power - Islands Lyrics

i want to rule the islands
and i want to rule the sea
but if you're not coming back
i will sleep eternally

i don't want no heavy diamonds
and pearls crush my teeth
i just want my sailor
to sail back to me

the captain has a treasure
says i hold the key
but old mangroves
and sweet winds blow
songs of you and me

i want to rule the islands
and i want to rule the sea
but if you're not coming back
i will sleep eternally
