Cobwebs and Dust - Gordon Lightfoot

Island goodbye, island goodbye

We been too long together, my island and i

'cross the blue sea, cross the blue sea

We been too long together, my island and me Cobwebs and dust, cobwebs and dust

I hate to leave you but leave you i must

Float through the sky, float through the sky

We been too long together, my cobwebs and i Unlock the gate, unlock the gate

Lower the drawbridge the hour is late

Whom shall it be, whom shall it be We been too long together, my drawbridge and me Troubles goodbye, troubles goodbye

We been too long together, my troubles and i

'cross the blue sea, cross the blue sea

We been too long together, my troubles and me Cobwebs and dust, cobwebs and dust

I hate to leave you but leave you i must

Float through the sky, float through the sky

We been too long together, my cobwebs and i Tear down the walls, tear down the walls

Gather my treasure and scatter it all

Whom shall it be, whom shall it be We been too long together, my treasure and me Kisses goodbye, kisses goodbye

We been too long together, my kisses and i

'cross the blue sea, cross the blue sea

We been too long together, her kisses and me Cobwebs and dust, cobwebs and dust

I hate to leave you but leave you i must

Float through the sky, float through the sky

We been too long together, my cobwebs and i Run to her side, run to her side

Run to my island and make her yer bride

Whom shall it be, whom shall it be We been too long together, my island and me
