Seven Island Suite
Lightfoot Gordon Lyrics

Seven islands to the high side of the bay, 'cross the bay
There are seven islands located on the high side of the bay, you have to cross the bay to reach them.

To the sunset through the blue light of a fiery autumn haze
The view to the sunset is perfect as it is visible through the blue light of an autumn haze.

We went walking on the high side of the bay on a chilly morn
On a cold morning, we walked on the high side of the bay.

And we saw how leaves had fallen on the beds where trees were born
We observed that leaves were falling on the beds where the trees were grown.

Any man in his right mind could not fail to be made aware
It's impossible for any sane person to miss this awareness.

Any woman with a gift of wisdom would not seek her answers there
A wise woman would avoid seeking answers there.

Seven islands to the high side of the bay if you're looking west
If you're looking to the west, you'll see the seven islands located on the high side of the bay.

To the sunset you can see it, all in fiery autumn dress
You can see the sunset in a fiery autumnal attire.

Anytime would be the right time to come up to your bed of boughs
You can come any time to rest on your bed, made of branches.

Anybody with a wish to wander could not fail but to be aroused
Anyone with a desire to explore will surely be inspired.

Living high in the city, guess you think it's a pretty good way
You might think that living in the city is an excellent way of life.

You get to learn, but when you get burned, you got nothing to say
At times, you learn things only after suffering the consequences, and then you regret not saying anything.

You seem to think because you got chicken to go you're in luck
You believe that because you have some food to-go, luck is on your side.

Fortune will not find you in your mansion or your truck
Having a mansion or truck won't bring good fortune to you.

Brothers will desert you when you're down and shit out of luck
Your brothers, friends, and family members may abandon you when you're struggling and in unfortunate situations.

Look around at the morning, guess you're doing the best you can
Every morning, you're doing your best, looking around and trying to make things work.

Surely you know that when you go nobody gives you a hand
You are aware that no one will support you when you leave.

Think of the air you're breathing in, think of the time you waste
Be mindful of the air you breathe and the time you spend.

Think of the right and wrong and consider the frown on your face
Think about what's morally correct and immoral, and how it reflects on your expressions.

It's time you tried living on the high side of the bay, you need a rest
It's time to seek a peaceful life on the high side of the bay as you need some rest.

Any woman or a man with a wish to fade away could be so blessed
Anyone who wishes to disappear can be happy living on the high side of the bay.

Fortune will not find you in your mansion turned to gold
No amount of wealth or fortune can guarantee happiness.

Brothers will desert you when your nights turn long and cold
You may lose the support of your loved ones when you go through challenging times.

If you feel it, you better believe it, you're gonna see it, so you really know
If you feel something, trust it, you'll see evidence of it, so you'll know it's real.

It is rising like a feather, dipping and dancing from below
Something is slowly rising and moving elegantly from below.

There's a new wave that is breaking in the wake of a passing ship
A new trend is starting after something else is ending.

Every nation's gonna be shaken, put it together, don't let it slip
All the countries in the world will soon feel the effects of a significant upcoming event; therefore, it's essential to stay aware and not forget it.

Seven islands to the high side of the bay, 'cross the bay
The seven islands are situated to the high side of the bay, which you need to cross to reach them.

To the sunset through the blue light of a fiery autumn haze
You can witness the sunset through the blue light of a fiery autumn haze.
