Castaway

Lyrics

I welcome you my little man
 Stolen from your sleepy land
 Cut loose from her, my caloused hand
 Branded you an exile
 The ocean parted when you wailed
 And debris of your catastrophe
 Set sail inside a silver cup
 ♪
 That she handed to me
 No ocean deep, no mountain tall
 No liberty, no prison vault
 Can keep my baby refugee
 From his own inland sea
 Where he can play castaway
 Where he can play castaway
 Where he can play castaway
 Now on a dolphin's back I come to you
 Bounding from across the blue
 Swollen flood inside my vein
 
 To try to explain
 How someday far below the moon
 You may live beside a green lagoon
 And store up pearls for skipping stones
 And you'll never be alone
 Ocean fall or ocean rise
 I see her deep, deep in your eyes
 I'm an ocean apart from you
 But you'll always be a part of me
 'Cause I can play castaway
 Two can play castaway
 Three can play castaway
 We all play castaway
