Mayday
You'd woken up my heart
Brought it in from the cold
You promised me your life
Past growing old
But staring in your eyes
I could only see so far
There was something way down deep
Some long lost scar
That wouldn't let you say
Your ship was slowly sinking
and you couldn't scream
MAYDAY MAYDAY
You left me to drown alone
MAYDAY MAYDAY
With a lifesaver made of stone
And the water felt too cold
And the sea was too deep
To let me walk away
or to let me get some sleep
I held onto those hands
that wouldn't let me go
My friends pulled me ashore
and kept my head afloat
I didn't have to say
My ship was slowly sinking
and I couldn't scream
MAYDAY MAYDAY
You left me to drown alone
MAYDAY MAYDAY
With a lifesaver made of stone
