Andrew White - Holy Island lyrics

rate me

Got caught by the tide so we slept by the dunes<br />

Beneath the blanket of stars we sang her tunes<br />

We laughed and we talked til the moon kissed our eyes<br />

Sleepin under northumbrian skies<br />

Restless dreams I walk alone, parthumdrian shores, ancient stones<br />

I herd some daydem call my name, he said, "let your heart become a burnend falme"<br />

<br />

Holy island ooh, there's a light for ships lost at sea<br />

Holy island ooh, there's a place for sanctuary<br />

<br />

Woke in the morning with the mist in our hair<br />

Tired and hungry but we didn't care<br />

A fishermen was mending his net by the sea<br />

As we passed by he said to me<br />

<br />

Holy island, your life's unconseived, just like one day<br />

Holy island ooh, your heart can get swept away on the tide<br />

On holy island, holy island, the mistery hides<br />

<br />

We climbed the castle walls, I looked around<br />

The sea went on for ever, I swear I herd the sound<br />

Of angels sing<br />

To holy island, to holy island, where your troubles bring<br />

<br />

On holy island, there's a light for ships, that are lost at sea<br />

Holy island ooh, there's a place for sanctuary<br />

Should you craft accor apon that stoney ground<br />

Holy island, holy island, you'll be found<br />

<br />

Holy island<br />

<br />

We got caught by the tide so we slept by the dunes<br />

Beneath the blanket of stars we sang her tunes<br />

We laughed and we talked til the moon kissed our eyes<br />

Sleepin under northumbrian skies
