Stranded

Stan Ridgeway · Other Songs - Stan Ridgeway

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
