Fm                G#m
Down the hill I’d hoped that I’d find
D#                A#m
Something I could rest my hands on
Fm              G#m
In the distance sun is setting
D#               A#m
Feel I’m jumping over hedges

Chorus:
D#
By the dock of the pond Turtle Island
                                        Cm
I will wait for you there creeping silently
                               C#
I can keep you right behind me all my days in the

In the waters, trace her features
Did they scare you?
Hardened creatures
In that murky green perfection
Did they warn you of dissection?

How I want Olive (our love) to know
      A#m                  D#
That inside me she will always grow
A#m          Cm
In all colors and sizes
         A#m      D#
You will always remain

Chorus:
By the dock of the pond, Turtle Island
By the dock of the pond, Turtle Island
I can't keep you right behind me
All my days in the sun
 my days in the sun
