I am the preacher on the island,
Seven years I've lived alone.
I try and bring some comfort,
To this world of sea and stone.

There are no trees on the island,
Nowhere to shelter or hide.
Men tear rock from the quarry,
Or take their chances on the tide.

I fell in love with the wife
Of the man who lays the fuse.
When I heard the thunder from the earth,
I had to choose,

Between falling and cold cold calling.

They used to walk beside the water,
Voices blowing in the wind.
I would watch from the distance,
And I'd dream that I was him.

Then he found work on the mainland.
Oh how I prayed,
That something would tear them apart,
And force her to stay.

For I was falling into the cold cold calling.

Next day they called me to the quarries,
There was something badly wrong.
A man lay crushed by falling rock,
His life was almost gone.

I knew his face in the darkness,
I didn't need to ask the name.
All my prayers were answered,
And i was the one to blame.

I closed his eyes in the dark,
She was running through the rain.
She took him in her arms and begged the Lord,
Give him life again.

Oh if I should live,
All the seven ages of mine,
Seven times will never wash all the blood,
From my hands.

I am the preacher on the island,
Oh I live on my own.
I try and bring some comfort,
To this world of sea and stone.

Like the chapels on the island,
My heart is dark and overgrown.
I used to pray but now I leave,
My maker well alone.

On the island.
On the island.
