There was a fire on the sea My only hope is nowhere to be seen Shipwrecked, I end up on a beach 10, 000 miles away from a human being Can't you understand I need to hold your hand Can't you understand I need to be your man I'm all alone, or so it seems The silent hope has brought me to my knees It's time I left you on my stride I'm drifting under Home is such a disaster Can't you understand I need to hold your hand Can't you understand I need to be your man I will swim amongst the sharks Fight the waves a mountain high In the morning I am cold But I'll take it in my stroll (Take it in my stroll) Can't you understand I need to hold your hand Can't you understand I need to be your man Can't you understand I need to hold your hand Can't you understand I need to be your man
