Story Behind The Song
This song came out of a set of lyrics by the accomplished lyricist Graeme Wheatley (from London) & contained the remarkable line 'What's a Dreamboat Like You, Doing With A Shipwreck Like Me'. I was besotted by this line & Graeme kindly allowed me to add some of my own words to his original song.
Song Description
A lovely, dreamy love song that expresses the fear that this beauty will inevitably one day find someone better.

Lyrics
Shipwreck (Lyrics By Graeme Wheatley & Paul Walker)
Verse 1:
Must we say goodbye now, is it really time to go
It goes so fast, never lasts
As one scene comes clearer another turns black
And I'm fearing this feeling won't pass
Chorus:
Words flow like a river that will never get to sea
What's a dreamboat like you doing with a shipwreck like me?
What's a dreamboat like you doing with a shipwreck like me?
Verse 2:
How many questions, how many tears?
How many thoughts to fill & mornings will I waken to the fear?
That next time you see me you'll ask yourself why?
And those love lights will fade in your eye
Chorus:
Words flow like a river that will never get to sea
What's a dreamboat like you doing with a shipwreck like me?
What's a dreamboat like you doing with a shipwreck like me?
Bridge:
We're out of time, we're out of tune
We're out of here
Nothing rhymes, we're out of skew
We're out of gear
Chorus:
Words flow like a river that will never get to sea
What's a dreamboat like you doing with a shipwreck like me?
What's a dreamboat like you doing with a shipwreck like me?
