"This Island Earth" lyrics
"This Island Earth"
(originally by Bryan Ferry)
So I send an SOS
Semaphore myself
Catch me fallin' finally
Through the air and underground
Everywhere, this sound
Screams, whisper, "I can't breathe"
I feel it in my bones
Though I know I'm not alone
You're spinnin' far, too far from me
So cruel to be so kind
Now I know I'll always find
This island earth
In mystery
As I stumble through the dark
Dream lovers dream apart
Starry-eyed, a vision rushes in
Do I wonder or care?
My spirit's bleeding, God knows where
A never endin' stream
I tried to love, tried to find
My soul in shadows runnin' blind
Restless as the sea
By a sidewalk, through the haze
Wanderin' as in the maze
Lost in number, time, and space, whoa
So near, yet so far
Castaway as strangers are
This island earth
And you and me
