Amanda Somerville - Windows

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: will 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: will 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
