Stranded

Lyrics

She was standin' near the railroad track when she first flagged me down
 I was drivin' outta town
 All alone
 Her face held every feelin' in but her eyes gave her away
 One look and you would say
 No way home
 Walkin' through an airport lounge
 Somewhere way off in spain
 Through a scratchy intercom it came
 Loud and clear...
 Chorus:
 You're worn and used and you can't talk
 Your flight has been postponed, now you must walk
 Straight up that hill¨c¨cnow you must push your own rock
 The iceburg cut into the hull while the captain rang the bell
 How he went down, who could tell
 Cold as ice
 Beneath the waves the ocean liner sank into the sand
 You still could hear the band
 Auld lang syne
 Out in space their orbit then just started to decay
 She was burnin' up the atmosphere
 Burn away
 Chorus repeat
