The day that I met you
No other would do
And since that day
I’ve lived only for only you
Counting the days like true lonely hearts do
Barely alive and just waiting for you

Days flutter by
Thinking only of you
Cannot imagine what I’m gonna do
Finally discovered
What everyone knew
My key to survival was being with you

Do you know what its like to be barely alive?
Asking yourself how you’ll ever survive?
Alone on an island intended for two
Barely alive but still waiting for you

I’m sitting alone looking out at the sea
Hoping one day that there’s going to be
The sign of a liferaft coming for me
Till then I’ll be waiting here impatiently

I know you are out there
And searching for me
Drifting alone on the same endless sea
Send up a flare if you get close to me
I’ll be watching the sky and perhaps I will see

Do you know what its like to be barely alive?
Asking yourself how you’ll ever survive?
Alone on an island intended for two
Barely alive but still waiting for you
