Rule The Islands Lyrics

Cat Power Rule The Islands

I want to rule the islands
And I want to rule the sea
But If you're not coming back
I will sleep eternally

But I don't want no heavy diamonds
No pearls to crush my teeth
I just want my sailor
To sail back to me

Captain has a treasure
Says I hold the key
But the 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
