Stranded Lyrics

You've got such a lovely sparkle in your eye
So wise and undiscovered
Flirting with the earth, living in the sky
Leaving so much uncovered

And I just want to get stranded with you
On a little desert isle
As long as we had some water to drink
There'd be nothing to do but smile
Nothing to do but smile

I know it's a tired old tale
I've got nothing but words
Old, broken and bound to fail
Like a snail chasing hummingbirds

But I just want to get stranded with you
We could get to know one another
You know we'd never meet any other way
Only if I had my druthers
Only if I had my druthers

I'd find some reason to say hello
Like if the town was on fire
We'd have to hide in the valley below
If the scene was sufficiently dire

I just want to get stranded with you
Maybe in a big winter storm
If the power was out, it wouldn't matter
With each other to keep warm
Each other to keep warm

My talents are few and my pockets are empty
And the world awaits your next move
The gap between us is as wide as the water
Between Starbucks and the Louvre

But I just want to get stranded with you
Then I'd find something to say
And you'd hold me close in this forsaken dream
On the blanket upon which we lay
The blanket upon which we lay
