Tired and hungry but we didn't care
A fishermen was mending his net by the sea
As we passed by he said to me

Holy island, your life's unconseived, just like one day
Holy island ooh, your heart can get swept away on the tide
On holy island, holy island, the mistery hides

We climbed the castle walls, I looked around
The sea went on for ever, I swear I herd the sound
Of angels sing
To holy island, to holy island, where your troubles bring

On holy island, there's a light for ships, that are lost at sea
Holy island ooh, there's a place for sanctuary
Should you craft accor apon that stoney ground
Holy island, holy island, you'll be found

Holy island

We got caught by the tide so we slept by the dunes
Beneath the blanket of stars we sang her tunes
We laughed and we talked til the moon kissed our eyes
Sleepin under northumbrian skies
