Lyrics Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot

Cobwebs & Dust

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

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

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

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

'Cross the blue sea, 'cross the blue sea

We been too long together, my island and me

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
