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 favors   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?
