Sending out an SOS

Just a castaway
An island lost at sea
Another lonely day
No-one here but me
More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair

I'll send an sos to the world

I'll send an sos to the world

I hope that someone gets my

I hope that someone gets my

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'll send an sos to the world

I hope that someone gets my

I hope that someone gets my

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'll send an sos to the world

I hope that someone gets my

I hope that someone gets my

I hope that someone gets my

Message in a bottle
