I dreamed a dream, I thought it true

I was the ship, you went the crow

On a lovely sea, you abandoned me

No reason seen or heard

I drifted to the end of the World

And then I woke, just as I fell

Reached for your hands, the bed was empty as well

Where had you gone? I hit the deck

Crawled on to a beach of sheets, a nervous wreck

Had you really gone? Don't leave me now

I thought I was alone, my windswept hell

But then relief, in the light I saw

As a shadow moved by the bathroom door

I laid back again, once more asleep

and to another dream, once more alone in the deep

I drifted for an hour, that was eternity

onto a shore, the island of me

So listen now and please be told

what you've got is a man overboard

MayDay, MayDay, don't make a new castaway

Head over hills and over the top

I feel so low don't tell me to stop

Give me a sign, Man Overboard, throw out a line

I need signals please, paranoia fantasies

Your love will give me the rope

I move alone onto the edge

isolation is the thinnest ledge, rescue the only hope

Another time and place, a day at the beach

I'm sinking on the sand, my mind was far in the East

The desert is a sea, that's far and wide

And now a caravan, on ships of the desert we land

A babe in arms, I was dropped

dropped from your hands

far out of view and no one stops

They disappeared, the silence grew

along with the whisper of Rush, and the wind it blew
