Cast Away Lyrics

Is time, the rushing river, flowing forward, ever free

Or is that your perception of the vast and endless sea

The castaway, who's gone astray, who tests temporal seas

Can wick the waves and count their days in thousands or just three

Well you've lost something important and I've lost a priceless prize

But I can see you've got the courage and a little bit of time

So here's the deal, the bargain steal, my newest, oldest friend

If you return my property, I'll show you how this ends

Cast away the present

Cast away the now

Cast away another day

And then you wonder how

You cast away your future

As you cast away the past

You cast away another day

And hope they last

Cast away

Cast away

Cast away

Cast away

Double time, as owl flies over swamp and mountain snow

Past ocean waves and canyon's graves, where giants walk with eyes ablaze

It's there you'll be and there you'll seem no stranger to the sea

Come on in the waters fine, dive right in

Cast away the present

Cast away the now

Cast away another day

And then you wonder how

You cast away your future

As you cast away the past

You cast away another day

And hope they last
