Lyrics
Radio
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Just like in the movies a message
Comes through all the static and hiss
Pulling just enough words from the storm filled sky
To know that someone somewhere needs this
The radioman runs to the wheelhouse
Got that message held tight in his fist
An s.o.s off of the wireless
Saying someone somewhere needs this
For you to look out, look down
Reach your hand into the water
For you to look out, look down
And pull someone out of the sea
You are the captain this is the ship
You will have to decide what gets done
Think about it when you’re on watch tonight
‘Cause someday this message will come
For you to look out, look down
Reach your hand into the water
For you to look out, look down
And pull someone out of the sea
And your hands are slippery
The wind is strong
The boat is rocking
The world is storm
Your hands are slippery
You feel like turning away to run free
Your hands are so slippery
But you can pull someone out of the sea
For you to look out, look down
Reach your hand into the water
For you to look out, look down
And pull someone out of the sea
For you to look out, look down
Reach your hand into the water
For you to look out, look down
And pull someone out of the sea
