Kauai O'o - Blanco White

The song of an island, the call of a friend

Heard never again, out in the world

If you were alone how could you have known

That yours was a final breath

Of language surviving through an age?

'Til only a name was left

Too hard to believe

Everywhere I run, on every horizon

The words are gone, Kauai O’o

There’s nothing to see

Everywhere I run, I hear only silence

The words are gone, Kauai O’o

There’s nothing to see

We couldn’t decipher the things that you said

The only one left with time to go

You wandered the earth, were seen but not heard

No matter how far you went

The story’s behind us, not today

As careless with every step

Too hard to believe

Everywhere I run, on every horizon

The words are gone, Kauai O’o

There’s nothing to see

Everywhere I run, I hear only silence

The words are gone, Kauai O’o

There’s nothing to see

Are we searching enough

For a life that we’d choose?

Tell me when does it stop?

Tell me what we lose

Tell me what we lose

Everywhere I run, on every horizon

The words are gone, Kauai O’o

There’s nothing to see

Everywhere I run, I hear only silence

The words are gone, Kauai O’o

There’s nothing to see
