VERSE 1: (play Verse Riff over and over)
Just a castaway, An island lost at sea
Another lonely day with no one here but me
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair

VERSE 2:
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

[CHORUS]

VERSE 3:
Walked out this morning, Don't believe what I saw
A hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
A hundred billion castaways looking for a home

[CHORUS]
