This Island Earth — Bryan Ferry

(ferry)

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 spirits bleeding God knows where

A never ending stream

I tried to love, tried to find

My soul in shadows running blind

And 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
