Lyrics

On a long sable isle, not so far away
Where the dunes meet the sky and short are the days
There’s sweet grass and sea glass, and salt on the wind
And if you find yourself stranded here you better start diggin

Where worthy ships wreck, and iron men die
Oh alongside the horses of the long sable isle

On a long sable isle, not far from my home
Where the irish moss blooms and the wild ponies roam
I lay down my true love where the sand meets the sea
And at the pearly white gates she’ll be waiting for me

She’ll be waiting for me… Oohh…

On a long sable isle, not so far away
Where the dunes meet the sky and short are the days
There’s sandwort and beachpea, and fresh water ponds
And the gale beaten trees dot the endless horizon

Where worthy ships wreck, and iron men die
Oh alongside the horses of the long sable isle

The long sable isle… Oohh…
