Seven islands to the high side

Of the bay, 'cross the bay

To the sunset through the blue light

Of a fiery autumn haze

We went walking on the high side

Of the bay on a chilly morn

And we saw how leaves had fallen

On the beds where trees are born

Living high in the city, guess you think it's a pretty good way

Think of the right and wrong and consider the frown on your face
