CAPE LONELY
You set me driftin' after the storm
All hope of rescue has long since gone
Now I live by myself, in this ocean of lonliness.
Just treadin' water way out in the blues
Drowning in the 'missing-you's'
Every night...Lord, I sink a little deeper
And I miss you more each day, in every way
Out here on Cape Lonely
I wish you'ld come back to me,
Send your love to rescue me, out here on Cape Lonely
Another sunset and I search in vain
Over horizons filled only with pain
And the wind keeps whisperin', this time you're gone for
good.
So again tonite I'll write you a note
Empty a bottle and set it afloat
And its signed, "girl, I'm still missin' you...
Here on Cape Lonely..."
chorus
No mans' an island till the love he has is gone
Alone and so deserted, your memory's all I've got to live
on
chorus
