Jack Bruce - Cold Island (For Cozy Powell) lyrics

Living on cold island Your mail comes on the wind Messages and memories Of all the things you've been Living on cold island You can't forget the rain Remembering the long roads You'll have to try again And it's always on your mind (And it's always on your mind) And the grinding of the stone (And the grinding of the stone) Never getting home Living on cold island The love comes second hand Formulas with fantasies You do the best you can Living on cold island You can't keep out the pain Recalling all the hard miles You'll have to swim again I had too much to lose, I'm telling you I did not choose this life on cold island Living on cold island The radio is faint Victories and voices Keep calling you a saint Living on cold island You can't escape the flames Burning up the sunset And spelling out your name And it's always in your heart (And it's always in your heart) And the shining of the track (And the shining of the track) Never coming back
