Fantastic Place Lyrics - Marillion

Islands are mountain-tops 

It's always a struggle 

To let somebody go 

It's a natural desire 

To own your lover, I know 

And you can screw a man down 

Until he takes to drinking 

He'll give you all of his money 

You still won't know what he's thinking 

Take me to the fantastic place 

Keep the rest of my life away 

Take me to the fantastic place 

Keep the rest of my life away 

Take me to the island 

I'll watch the rain over your shoulder 

The streetlights in the water 

The moment outside of real life 

I never could dream while I was sleeping 

Put your arms around my soul 

And take it dancing.. 

Take me to the fantastic place 

Keep the rest of my life away 

Take me to the fantastic place 

Keep the rest of my life away 

Take me to the island 

I'll watch the rain over your shoulder 

The streetlights on the wet stone 

The moment outside of real life 

Say you understand me 

And I will leave myself completely 

Forgive me if I stare 

But I can see the island behind your tired, troubled eyes 

Take me to the island 

I'll tell you all I never told you 

The boy I never showed you 

More than I gave in my life 

Take me by the hand 

You'll either kill me or you'll save me 

Take me to the island 

Show me what might be real life
