Islands
The Sleeping Years

I write to you now so you’ll know my fate,nWe’ve had no news for seven days.nThese disappearances we madenTake hold.nnOur photographs begin to cloud,nThe colour running from my mouth,nThe light I reflect filters throughnAnd burns out.nnMy breath frosting in the cold,nThe radios all turned to snownAnd my words thicken in my throatnAnd hang mute.nnAll the lights trip out, all the echoes slow,nI hold my breath, I turn to stone,nTo stay invisible for longnTakes thought.nnIt’s a sleight of hand, it’s a trick of lightnTo fool yourself, to close your eyesnTo all the drifting for tonightnYou’ll be gone.nnWe’re becoming islands one by one, we’ve got distances to cross.nWe’ve been losing ground for all this time and we never said a word.nWe’re becoming islands one by one, we’ve got oceans now between us.nWe’ve been losing ground for all this time and we never said a word.

Lyrics by The Sleeping Years

Broken Homes Clocks and Clones Dressed for Rain How Long Have You Waited? Human Blues Kerscaven Macosquin, Coleraine Nearly Got It Made Setting Fire to Sleepy Towns Strays Streamlined The Lockkeeper’s Cottage The Shape of Things to Come The Sleeping Years Untroubled You and Me Against the World
