Island Of Souls - Sting
Lyrics by：Sting
Composed by：Sting
Produced by：Rob Mathes/Sting
Children was born within sight of the shipyard
This son of a riveter's son
And children was raised as the ship grew a shadow
Her great hull would blot out the light of the sun
And six days a week he would watch his poor father
A working man live like a slave
He'd drink every night and he'd dream of a future
Of money he never would save
Children would cry when he thought of the future
Here after here are the bottle was broken
They launched the great ship out to sea
He watch it seal a past to bend the glow river
To a future he desperately wanted to flee
What else was there for a shipbuilder's son
A new ship to complete new work to be done
One day he dreamed of the ship in the world
That would carry his soul to the sea
To a place they would never be found
To a place far away from this town
Trapped in the cage of the skeleton ship
All the workmen suspended like flies
Caught in the flare of acetylene light
A glimpse of a future he come to just by
Children would cry when he thought of the future
Then what they call an industrial accident
Left to juke let show after
They brought childrens father back home
In an ambulance
A brass watch a cheque and I build bed
And what else was there for a riveter's son
A new ship to complete new work to be done
That night he dreamed of the ship in the world
That would carry his soul to the sea
To a place they would never be found
To a place far away from this town
This Newcastle ship without coals
They would sail to the island of souls
