  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

  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

  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
  Hundred billion castaways
  Looking for a home

Lyrics:
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

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 at 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

I'm sending out an SOS (repeat until fade out)
