Dry Land Songtext
von Marillion

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
