This Island Earth Lyrics

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
