There was a fire on the sea
My only hope is nowhere to be seen
Shipwrecked, I end up on a beach
10,000 miles away from a human being
Can't you understand
I need to hold your hand
Can't you understand
I need to be your man
I'm all alone, or so it seems
The island home has brought me to my knees
It's time I left you on my stride
I'm drifting out under the
[?]
Can't you understand
I need to hold your hand
Can't you understand
I need to be your man
I will swim amongst the sharks
Fight the waves a mountain high
In the morning I am cold
But I'll take it in my stride
(Take it in my stride)
Can't you understand
I need to hold your hand
Can't you understand
I need to be your man
Can't you understand
I need to hold your hand
Can't you understand
I need to be your man
