Treasure Island - Mary Black

Oh love is never easy

It’s almost always out of your way

It’s not the path of least resistance

It’s not some words you get to say

It’s a stream running up a mountain

It’s a wave rolling out from the shore

Wish I could say I never felt that way before

I have a friend who’s lonely

She is chasing after her dreams

And she is the one and only

One who knows how hard it could be

There’s a treasure on her island buried in the city of news

Wish I could say we didn’t have that much to lose

One friend tried to end it

He could not see the good in his life

In his mirror or his pocket

And his hopes had come down like a knife

It’s a stream running up a mountain

It’s a wave rolling out from the shore

Wish I could say I never felt that way before

There’s a treasure on these islands buried in the city of news

Wish I could say we didn’t have that much to lose

Oh there’s a treasure on these islands buried in the city of news

Wish I could say we didn’t have that much to lose
