Lyrics

Isolation

[Verse 1]

I'm living my life in a separate way

Looking for something, from day to day

There is a searchlight in my heart

There's an empty space where nothing grows

There is no life for the rose

Only a shadow in my heart

[Refrain]

I'm living in a world of isolation

I'm living in a world of isolation

[Verse 2]

Well, I've watched the waves come and go

And I can never escape from what I know

There is but water on my heart

But I see you in a special way

It's a sensation on what it says

Because we are living worlds apart

[Refrain]

I'm living in a world of isolation

I'm living in a world of isolation

[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]

I'm living in a world of isolation

I'm living in a world of isolation

[Outro]

Isolation, oh yeah, isolation, yeah, iso...

Living my life in a separate way

Living on my own from day to day under two nations, in isolation

Oh yeah, living under two nations, in isolation

Oh yeah, living under two nations, in isolation

Oh yeah, living under two nations
