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
