The Island

lyrics
Boats from the island came to take me away. I’m sick of the silence so give me a reason to stay. Forever changing I try to fit in the shapes. Well I’m bending my body as my heart gently breaks in two.
This ship is sailing. It drifts in the breeze but I keep on dreaming of the wreckage beneath the bottomless ocean where it’s darker than space and there is no light to guide us out of this place and back to you.
Tell me your secrets and I’ll tell you mine. The ones worth you keeping become worthless with time when we count money in millions and we’re all millionaires and all that it’s worth is just a bucket of air, maybe two.
This ship is sailing. It drifts in the breeze but I keep on dreaming of the wreckage beneath the bottomless ocean where it’s darker than space and there is no light to guide us out of this place and back to you.
Tell me your secrets and I’ll tell you mine. The ones worth you keeping become worthless with time when we count money in millions and we’re all millionaires and all that it’s worth is just a bucket of air, maybe two.

The third Sanctuary album is also the best of the trilogy. This one dares even more to expand the Oldfieldian style in new and exciting directions. It may be sacrilege to suggest it, but if this *were* a genuine Oldfield album, many might say it was one of his best, too. It's true that Rob Reed is standing on the shoulders of a giant, but he is a giant talent in his own right. Often the music brings tears to the eyes, as if it were the soundtrack to the climax of a hard-won cinematic story.
