Dry Land - 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
