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 hink 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
