Marillion - Dry Land Lyrics






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 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

    The band formerly known as Marillion.
    They took very literal their inspiration from Genesis and went pop in the blink of an eye and hired an eye candy guy with a meh voice.
    Nice song tough.
    VERY nice. Really well done tbh.

    This song and the title specifically make me think of the Kevin Costner film 'Waterworld' where everyone was on a quest to find 'Dry land'.

    Did this song come out pre or post the above mentioned film ?

    Dry Land (From the album titled Dry Land) was originally written by Steve Hogarth and Colin Woore who were in a band called How We Live 1987. They did 1 album and split then Hogarth joined Marillion in 1989 and Marillion covered this song in 1991. The How We Live album is worth a listen if you really like Steve's voice. Also check out the band The Europeans which Steve and Chris were part of. Some great songs and albums especially "Recurring Dreams"

    GUAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I LOVE IT

  44. J.... R....

    My dear, my love.... how many times I repeat the same question where tears taste so salty, then I realized that what I refused then, comes to me again and again like an Ocean of Sweet Water with your voice, tasting the flavours of your kisses and the past brings the feeling of that touch that is already printed in my skin by you, my heart is been always speaking to you my beautiful perfect extranger, you are so loved so talented, your eyes, your playful hair....and yes, dreams are the hope for that desire to exist to keep alive and that violent silence you are talking about, is turning into the most amazing feeling. Te amo para siempre, between us....incondicionalmente.
