You know I think it was born of the feeling
that I got when I left from your home
Then it turned into something appealing I
couldn't let it aloneWho'd have known that I'd ever be reeling
simply from being on my own
Oh I craved and I craved and I craved and I craved
To get back that feeling I'd knownBut the way you were looking that evening
when you showed me out to your door
Oh I felt like we'd both been caught stealing
from the garden your parents had grown
It's a long way from Earth to the heavens
but I didn't care anymore
I just waited and waited and waited and waited
until I could get you aloneWho ever heard such a voice of excitement?
No man alive had ever been there
Staking a claim on an uncharted island
Oooh it was too much to bear
No man alive had ever been thereWell we didn't make it together
but I didn't go it alone
See the feeling was no longer tethered
to the sweetheart it used to call homeNow we're spread like a blanket of heather
covering soil and stone
Oh it bid me to lay with a bird of a feather
and then to set out on my own
Who ever heard such a voice of excitement?
No man alive had ever been there
Staking a claim on an uncharted island
Oooh it was too much to bear
No man alive had ever been thereWho ever heard such a voice of excitement?
No man alive had ever been there
Staking a claim on an uncharted island
Oooh it was too much to bear
No man alive had ever been thereI think it was born of the feeling
that I got when I left from your home
Oh I waited and waited and waited and waited
to get back that feeling I'd known
