lyrics

Chopper's overhead, and it says "look at me!"
I've been stranded here all day on this Nova Scotia sea.
Got no sign of land, nor a sign of wind.
I escaped from a band of pirates, and they ain't been back since.

Crimson red, sunburned head of red, "look at me!"
I've a raft, not a boat, on this Nova Scotia sea.
I see the sun sinking, and the sky is turning pink.
This raft is crafted out of stress, it ain't gonna sink.

I'm slowly drifting away.
As long as it takes.
My mind won't break, but I feel my bones shake.
As long as it takes,
and it's getting dark.

I'm waving my hands,
I'm looking for land,
I'm dreaming of sand.
I'm waving my land,
I'm dreaming of hands,
I'm looking for sand.

I'm slowly drifting away...
