Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Like a soul that’s lost on a desert isle
That’s the way I feel tonight
Like a ship that’s tossed on a desert isle
I’m looking for a guiding light
CHORUS
You left me stranded on a sea of sorrow
There is no tomorrow without you
Stranded ever since we parted
I’m so broken-hearted without you
My heart is still on fire
You’re still my one desire
I can’t go on along like this
Nothing can save me
But the love that you gave me
And the thrill that enslaved me to your kiss
It left me Branded, all alone and Stranded
Life is empty-handed without you
