Wishbone Ash - Lonely Island Lyrics






Lonely on an island shore
There's no one around.
The day is grown older now
As I catch the thought of you.

I lay awake at night
With you on my mind;
Sleep drifts over me
But still I can see you.

I knew that I wasn't dreaming anymore.
Softly, your hair in my hands
And your eyelashes opened the door.

How could we love each other
And yet be so remote?
You were carried by a changing tide
I was stranded on the shore.

    Lonely on an island shore
    There's no one around.
    The day is grown older now
    As I catch the thought of you.

    I lay awake at night
    With you on my mind;
    Sleep drifts over me
    But still I can see you.

    I knew that I wasn't dreaming anymore.
    Softly, your hair in my hands
    And your eyelashes opened the door.

    How could we love each other
    And yet be so remote?
    You were carried by a changing tide
    I was stranded on the shore.

    Written in the 60s according to Martin Turner. Incredible to think that this superb track had never been performed live by Wishbone Ash or Martin prior to his Spring 2019 tour. Stunning solo by Laurie Wisefield (and Danny Wilson on the current M.T. tour). Why has no one ever chosen this on 'Desert Island Discs'?

    Saw Ash in December 1976 in Freiburg/Germany at the same age, when they played many of the New England songs. Lonely Island has always been one of my favourites.

    Thanks for posting. One of my favorite WA songs. Truly an amazing band, so under rated. I do have to say I prefered the Ted Turner/ Andy Powell duo, but Laurie was no slacker.
