V (Island Song) Lyrics

[Intro]
On the Island
There are no places or people

But I'll go walking
And on the way I'll find you

On the way I'll find
The magic trick inverts
And the way to get there
Is going round in circles


[Refrain]
And the way to get there
La-da-da-da-da-da-da

[Verse 1]
I am the searchlight
Not the seeker, not the found

I am the midwife
Not the newborn, not the bearer

Gave birth to the child and came back again

[Refrain]
Shut your eyes and listen
And the way to get there
La-da-da-da-da-da-da
[Verse 2]
I am the wood fire
Not the broken, not the crowned
I am the midwife
Gave birth to the child and came back again

[Verse 3]
I am the murder
Not the suspect, not the victim
I am the reasons
Not the questions, not the answers (The air)


[Verse 4]
I am the mourner
Not the suspect, not the victim
I am the reasons
Not the question, not the answers (The air)

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
La-da-da-da, where ever you will find them

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
