Someone's waving from the shore
Another human castaway
Someone's waving from the shore
Another human castaway
Someone's waving from the shore
Another human castaway

The moon would be nothing without the sun
Just an absence of stars
in a predictable place
But the tide would still rule the ocean
And lovers won't cease to embrace
Yes, lovers won't cease to embrace

The stars would be nothing without you and I
To gaze back in time
With our telescope eyes
Dreaming of holidays
Light years away
Somewhere off the beaten track

Life would be nothing without an end
Despite the sweet dull ache
of love's lives leaving
Becoming sustenance and grief
To creatures great and small
Returning to somewhere else
Along the river
To begin again

Someone's dancing from the shore
Another human castaway
Someone's dancing from the shore
Another human castaway
Someone's dancing from the shore
Another human castaway
