Stranded Lyrics by Karl Cope

0

Once lost in a dream
Places you thought you would be
The garden so bright, not afraid
Out of that bed left unmade
Her words mended your heart
Broken pieces, falling apart
A cynic dies, jigsaw complete
Give yourself up to that sea

Now its all been washed away
Trying to find the sun again
Reaching out, reaching out for the past
The corridors of history
Where you lost the golden keys
They’re gone, all gone
They’re long, long gone

You are stranded
Never planned this
Now you’re alone
Cold wind blowing
Across the ocean
So far from home
Your heart rises when it’s found
Then you fall on the cold ground
All alone, empty handed
You are stranded

Heart shaped locks, lie strewn across the land
The keys rust with the turn of your hand
Retracing the steps through your life
The memories you thought could bring light
Those days are gone, no way out
What you remember now in doubt
Just time, time
All lost in time

You are stranded
Never planned this
Now you’re alone
Cold wind blowing
Across the ocean
So far from home
Your heart rises when it’s found
Then you fall on the cold ground
All alone, empty handed
You are stranded

Back in time, you were mine
Slipping fast through my fingers
Standing last in line
The ghosts they walk
These torn paths of thought
Then they go to the light

You are stranded
Never planned this
Now you’re alone
Cold wind blowing
Across the ocean
So far from home
Your heart rises when it’s found
Then you fall on the cold ground
All alone, empty handed
You are stranded
