At the time I left land and sailed away Never knew I would end up a castaway Wind went hard and the sky had tears for me The sea was all that I saw, my enemy
There are days that I wake up and strongly believe There are ways to escape, I myself might deceive In the bottles I've sent, I reached out for a hand But as sure as I'm here, they have never seen land
[Chorus:] Castaway, your clouds are in the way of light I am stumbling blind Castaway, your thoughts, remembered by the prints That I left behind
I know, but it's so hard to show Myself a way, to a better day I know that I am destined to live A life in memory, companion to my misery
I've seen ships passing by, but they've never seen me And for each day that pass without being free I will moulder within with nothing to win I will gamble my soul to pay any toll Isolation I face every day, every night What is real what is not, I keep losing my sight Who's to care who's to not, I just never might know For the son God forgot, maybe someday, I hope someday they'll show
I used to love the snow Can I reach it now Beyond my dreams somehow Only the stars look the same How I'd love to know their names
[Chorus]
I know, but it's so hard to show Myself a way, to a better day I know that I am destined to live Trapped by the sea, living in your memory
