Bryan Ferry This Island Earth
So I send an S.O.S
Semaphore myself
Catch me falling finally
Through the air and underground
Everywhere this sound
Screams a 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
And restless as the sea
Via sidewalks through the haze
Wandering as in maze
Lost in number time and space
So near and yet so far
Castaway as strangers are
This island earth and you and me
