Cast Away Lyrics

I cast away from stony ground

I cast away the life I'd found

I didn't know what I would chance upon

There was light behind but darkness drew me on

I set my sail on the open sea

The emptiness surrounded me

I went from place to place till the past I knew was gone

Had a friendly face but still my sword was drawn

On and on

Cause I saw new life in the distance

So I traveled on

Down a road of hope and memory with no resistance

And I felt withdrawn

Like a child without a smile I'm moving on

On to another dawn

Alone in shadows of the night

The stars above my only light

I turned my face to meet the rising sun

A dying man whose life had just begun

A thousand miles of ocean blue

But still my heart remembered you

I didn't know how long I would hold on

Just went from place to place till the past I knew was gone

On and on

Cause I saw new life in the distance

So I traveled on

Down a road of hope and memory with no resistance

So I traveled on

Though my heart held on

I knew the sweetness of the olden days was gone
