No Man Alive

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

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
