message in a bottle

Just a castaway
an island lost at sea

another lonely day
no-one here by me

more loneliness
than any man could bear

rescue me before
I fall into despair

I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my

message in a bottle

A year has passed
since I wrote my note

but I should have known this
right from the start

only hope can keep me together

love can mend your life
but love can break your heart

I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my

message in a bottle

Walked out this morning
don't believe what I saw

a hundred billion bottles
washed up on the shore

seems I'm not alone in being alone

a hundred billion castaways
looking for a home

I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my

message in a bottle

Sending out an SOS
