She was standin' near the railroad track when she first flagged me down
|
I was drivin' outta town
|
All alone
|
|
|
Her face held every feelin' in but her eyes gave her away
|
One look and you would say
|
No way home
|
|
|
Walkin' through an airport lounge
|
Somewhere way off in Spain
|
Through a scratchy intercom it came
|
Loud and clear...
|
|
|
Chorus:
|
You're worn and used and you can't talk
|
Your flight has been postponed, now you must walk
|
Straight up that hill??now you must push your own rock
|
|
|
|
The iceburg cut into the hull while the captain rang the bell
|
How he went down, who could tell
|
Cold as ice
|
|
|
Beneath the waves the ocean liner sank into the sand
|
You still could hear the band
|
Auld Lang Syne
|
|
|
Out in space their orbit then just started to decay
|
She was burnin' up the atmosphere
|
Burn away
|
|
|
Chorus repeat
|
|

Stranded
