Caldey
So you tell me man is an island
Stuck between sanity and asylum
When the words you use won't work or fit
They just hang around and always miss
Retrace your steps again and again
Your strength and virtue now coming to an end
This purgatory, this constant battle
Pack your bags, wave goodbye to struggle
If the isolation destroys the worry
If silence stops you saying sorry
If the rain comes down and drowns the anxiety
I'm giving up, I'm sailing to Caldey
Show me some patience, give me some knowledge
Show me what saves us, give me some courage
If I could end with the grace of Leonard Cohen
Then Caldey is the place, I can hear it calling
So retrace your steps again
Your strength and virtue now coming to an end
This purgatory, this constant battle
Pack your bags, wave goodbye to struggle
If the isolation destroys the worry
If silence stops you saying sorry
If the rain comes down and drowns the anxiety
I'm giving up, I'm sailing to Caldey
If the isolation
If silence
If the rain comes down
I'm giving up, I'm sailing to Caldey
Stuck between sanity and asylum
When the words you use won't work or fit
They just hang around and always miss
Retrace your steps again and again
Your strength and virtue now coming to an end
This purgatory, this constant battle
Pack your bags, wave goodbye to struggle
If the isolation destroys the worry
If silence stops you saying sorry
If the rain comes down and drowns the anxiety
I'm giving up, I'm sailing to Caldey
Show me some patience, give me some knowledge
Show me what saves us, give me some courage
If I could end with the grace of Leonard Cohen
Then Caldey is the place, I can hear it calling
So retrace your steps again
Your strength and virtue now coming to an end
This purgatory, this constant battle
Pack your bags, wave goodbye to struggle
If the isolation destroys the worry
If silence stops you saying sorry
If the rain comes down and drowns the anxiety
I'm giving up, I'm sailing to Caldey
If the isolation
If silence
If the rain comes down
I'm giving up, I'm sailing to Caldey
