lyrics

Upon Cuttyhunk Isle
Not a single automobile in sight
I’ll repose in the quiet
O how my weary heart delights !

Upon Cuttyhunk Isle
I’ll live out my days as a wanton maid
I’ll catch a fisherman’s eye
And at sunrise disappear with the tide

Snug in my cave
There's no comfort I crave
‘Cept the moaning of the waves

Unbeliever be warned
Hell itself’s not so warm
On your neck feel the breath
of the storm

Upon Cuttyhunk Isle
The sea barks rabid at my front door
It spits onto the floor as I snore
through the end of the world

Upon Cuttyhunk Isle
I’ll put up my feet and watch the days go by
I’m not afraid to die
Beneath black sky and red tide

Snug in my cave
No comfort I crave
‘Cept the moaning of the waves

Unbeliever be warned
Hell itself’s not so warm
On your neck feel the breath
of the storm

I wanna see what the gulls see
I wanna breathe what the fish breathe
Someday I will be queen
And I’ll never leave

Snug in my cave
There's no comfort I crave
‘Cept the moaning of the waves

Unbeliever be warned
Hell itself’s not so warm
On your neck feel the breath
of the storm
