Clare Fader - Isle of Summer

Come as you are

Come and buy illusions
on the isle of delusions
Place your faith and all your trust
In the gods of wanderlust

Your paper money won't get you far
Neither will your tin can car
Pack your tireless bag of tricks
Pawn your books and candle sticks

Come as you are in your tin can car
Leave with the money from your old jam jar
Come if you dare, we will take you there
To the lovely Isle of Summer

There's a charming cast of characters
All castaways and characters
So faithful to their island queen
who doles them out a daily dream

Her hands are adorned with gypsy jewels
Her golden words adored by fools
Bearing gifts from dollar stores
She welcomes you upon her shores

Come as you are in your tin can car
Leave with the money from your old jam jar
Come as you are, we will take you there
To the lovely Isle of Summer

And the maiden with tornado curls
More beautiful than other girls
Lives at the end of hairpin bend
And knows how to blow your fears away

With potions spun of alchemy
She calls you from her balcony
Her laughter lingers in your ear
Her smile the sweetest souvenir

Come as you are in your tin can car
Leave with money from your old jam jar
Come if you dare, we will take you there
To the lovely Isle of Summer
