       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

       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

       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
