COLD ISLAND

Living on cold island

Your mail comes on the wind

Messages and memories

Of all the things you've been



Living on cold island

You can't forget the rain

Remembering the long roads

You'll have to try again



And it's always on your mind

(And it's always on your mind)

And the grinding of the stone

(And the grinding of the stone)

Never getting home



Living on cold island

The love comes second hand

Formulas with fantasies

You do the best you can



Living on cold island

You can't keep out the pain

Recalling all the hard miles

You'll have to swim again



I had too much to lose, I'm telling you

I did not choose this life on cold island



Living on cold island

The radio is faint

Victories and voices

Keep calling you a saint



Living on cold island

You can't escape the flames

Burning up the sunset

And spelling out your name



And it's always in your heart

(And it's always in your heart)

And the shining of the track

(And the shining of the track)

Never coming back
