FAWM: "Rescue?"

Rescue?

Liner Notes

Lyrics

The night is closing in The rain is coming down I wish that I had never been So far from home and town And as I bed down for the night Beneath this fallen tree I wish somebody knew my plight and came to rescue me

I wish I'd told someone The details of my route And then I could have been and gone Right back to my commute And now I am so far from home No compass and no map I know I'll never ever roam Avoiding a mishap

I was so unprepared No water and no food And now I'm feeling very scared Regret my attitude There is a mountain rescue team I wish that thwy had known But where I am they'll never dream and I don't have a phone

I'm hungry cold and tired And filled up with regret I wish I was inspired and didn't have to fret But now it seems I'm all alone I'm really feeling dumb They'll find me here upon this stone If rescue doesn't come

Great storytelling. You put yourself right in the middle of it. Some people learn how to do it when they're kids. Others of us don't. Best advice...stay on the road.

I have never been mountain climbing in the woods far from society, but it is a frightening prospect to be all alone in the middle of nowhere. Scary idea, but one that we can all imagine happening!

Eeeeekkk This is a dark little lament with a deceptively cheerful major chord in the last line of each chorus. I can totally picture this person sitting there in the hope someone comes soon.
