For so long I just couldn't understand
That a better world lay within my hands
All the stars had been blinded from my eyes
By the brighter glow of the city lights
I was lost, but suddenly I could see
I was down, but then I was free
I laboured until I lost my love
Laboured until I tired
I suffered until I set my soul upon the shores of Bryher
I laboured until I lost my love
Laboured until I tired
I suffered until I set my soul upon the shores of Bryher
Like a vision I couldn't have explained
When I left that place still my heart remained
Slowly it had become a part of me
That enchanted land in a southern sea
I was tied, but there I could run away
I was small, but there I was made
It wasn't until I wandered west
It wasn't until I tried
I faltered until I found my faith upon the shore of Bryher
It wasn't until I wandered west
It wasn't until I tried
I faltered until I found my faith upon the shore of Bryher
Oh
I laboured until I lost my love
Laboured until I tired
I suffered until I set my soul upon the shores of Bryher
I laboured until I lost my love
Laboured until I tired
I faltered until I found my faith upon the shore of Bryher
