Come With Me To This Island In The Sea Come with me to this island in the sea Tears of stone shed by ancient mountains bones The curving shore for all good men to see From storming seas and flooding rip tides free This island of white stone only Neptune owns Come with me to this island in the sea Stand alone on these stark broken cliffs, that be From pounding of the sea, the broken stones The curving shore for all good men to see Portland's sheltered bay,that laysin the lee The island and her Pulpit Rock that groans Come with me to this island in the sea Steer your ship toward the Bills lightning tree Sail safe to the bay from the wind that roams The curving shore for all good men to see Come all God's seamen, pray, come walk with me Find your peace from King Neptunes unholy moans Come with me to this island in the sea The curving shore for all good men to see.
