No Man Alive

You know I think it was born of the feeling
That I got when I left from your home
Then it turned into something repeating
And I couldn’t let it alone
Who’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 known
With 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 alone
Who ever heard such a voice of excitement?
No man alive had ever been there
Staking our claim on an uncharted island
Ooh, it was too much to bear
No man alive had ever been there
Well we didn’t make it together
But I didn’t go on alone
See the feeling was no longer tethered
To the sweetheart it used to call home
Now it 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
Ooh, it was too much to bear
No man alive had ever been there
Who ever heard such a voice of excitement?
No man alive had ever been there
Staking a claim on an uncharted island
Ooh, it was too much to bear
No man alive had ever been there
I 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
