about

This song can be taken literally about someone who has been taken prisoner by a foreign power after becoming shipwrecked or stranded in a distant country and away from loved ones. A parallel to this would be the fate of the USS Pueblo. Although not shipwrecked as such, the USS Pueblo was attached to US Navy intelligence as a spy ship which was attacked and captured by North Korean forces on 23rd January 1968. This later became known as the "Pueblo incident". The subsequent abuse and torture of her crew became a major Cold War incident. Equally, the song works as a metaphor referring to someone who has a feeling of unrequited love and wanting to be "saved".

lyrics

In the dark I hear the silence of a dream just slipping away
Days are long but nights are longer as the grey walls fade into day

So take these thoughts of mine...
Cos I’m Shipwrecked on a foreign shore
Thousand miles maybe more - Save me! [Save me!]
Shipwrecked on a foreign shore
Thousand miles maybe more - Save me!

Missing you and hoping you do, if you get this give me a sign
Give me reason, hope of treason, help me cross this borderline

So take these thoughts of mine...
Cos I’m Shipwrecked on a foreign shore
Thousand miles maybe more - Save me! [Save me!]
Shipwrecked on a foreign shore
Thousand miles maybe more - Save me!

There’s a thousand reasons, I see love and hate
As I count the seasons, is it just too late?

Shipwrecked on a foreign shore
Thousand miles maybe more - Save me! [Save me!]
Shipwrecked on a foreign shore
Thousand miles maybe more - Save me! [Save me!]
Shipwrecked on a foreign shore
Thousand miles maybe more - Save me! [Save me!]
Shipwrecked on a foreign shore
Thousand miles maybe more...
