Cobwebs Dust Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

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
