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
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
(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 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 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 Explain Request ×
