Mayday Lyrics - Windows - Amanda Somerville

Setting sail, I'm homeward bound 

Full of metaphors and rhymes 

Thought I'd find some refuge on your shores 

Didn't think that you would mind 

You treat me like I'm a patient 

Leave me to my own demise 

Cast me out into an eastern wind 

Throw me to the raging tides 

I've crashed and burned, I guess I'll have to swim 

(No signal on the radio) 

I bail it out, but water's pouring in 

(And I'm yelling in the microphone) 

Mayday, mayday... this ship is gonna sink 

Baby, baby... now, why you gotta be 

So crazy, crazy... won't someone answer me? 

Mayday, mayday, baby 

Mayday, mayday 

Adrift alone on wayward seas 

Try to follow in your wake 

I know I should get back on course 

But it's too dark to navigate 

I never saw it coming 

Oh, I didn't read the signs 

You're a cut and run, I'm on my own 

No, you'll never toe the line 

No land in sight; won't help me if I swim 

(An SOS I'm going down) 

No way to fight against these wicked winds 

(Still I'm screaming in the microphone) 

Mayday, mayday... this ship is gonna sink 

Baby, baby... now, why you gotta be 

So crazy, crazy... won't someone answer me? 

Mayday, mayday, baby 

Mayday, mayday 

I raise my hands to part the sea 

But not even Moses could save me 

As I capsize you stand by 

And salute me in my futile fight 

Here comes a tidal wave to drown me in my sin 

(No signal on the radio) 

I'm overboard, my future's looking grim 

And I'm yelling in the microphone 

Mayday, mayday... this ship is gonna sink 

Baby, baby... now, why you gotta be 

So crazy, crazy... won't someone answer me? 

Mayday, mayday, baby 

Mayday, mayday 

Mayday, mayday, baby 

Mayday, mayday 

Mayday, mayday
