I saw you yesterday
Your eyes were the color of some kind of grey
I hear what you're sayin', but don't let me go
I've got all these people down below

They rush to talk, they rush to say
Man overboard
Mayday, mayday, mayday
Mayday, mayday, mayday

Troubles are brought back by you
Funny how we, we go down, we go anywhere but to the ground
Troubles are brought back by you
Funny how we, we go down, we go anywhere but to the ground

So I hear that you're doing fine
You've flown all them planes that've been on your mind
I can't understand, but I don't need to know
I'll speak to you through this radio

They rush to talk, they rush to say
Man overboard
Mayday, mayday, mayday
Mayday, mayday, mayday

There's a man and he's overboard
