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 

Verse (as before)
=====
In all the time that I've known you 
There has been something between us 
I don't think it's my imagination

Bridge (as before)
======
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 

Chorus (as before)
======
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
