This Island Earth (Bryan Ferry cover) Lyrics


So I send an SOS

Semaphore myself

Catch me falling 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 spinning far too far from me

So cruel to be so kind

Now I know I’ll always find

This island earth a 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 ending stream

I tried to love, tried to find

My soul in shadows running blind

Restless as the sea

Via sidewalks through the haze

Wandering as in a maze

Lost in number time and space

So near and yet so far

Castaway as strangers are

This island earth

And you and me
