Marillion - Dry Land lyrics

(music: hogarth / woore lyrics: steve hogarth) In all the time that i've known you You've been so edgy and nervous I never wanted to own you I was aware of the danger Of making a bid for your favours You're such a natural stranger I made excuses and ran You're an island But i can't leave you all out at sea You're so violent with your silence You're an island I can't sleep Won't you speak to me I'm on dry land Won't you help me please In all the time that i've known you There has been something between us I don't think it's my imagination I felt like i couldn't touch you But i had the feeling you'd love to Tell me the truth if you could do I made excuses and ran You're an island But i can't leave you all out at sea You're so violent with your silence You're an island i can't sleep Won't you speak to me I'm on dry land Won't you help me please You're an island But i can't leave you all out at sea You're so violent with your silence You're an island i can't sleep Won't you speak to me I'm on dry land Won't you help me please
