Lyrics for 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 And I want no heavy diamonds And pearls crush my teeth I just want my sailor To sail back to me Captain has a treasure He says I hold the key But old mangroves and sweet winds blow songs To 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
