about

Maybe there is a castaway in us all, the free wheeling spirit that wants to cut loose and go where the breeze of life takes them. This song is about one such person, a woman whose strength and determination took her on a diferent path - her own.

lyrics

Castaways

Castaways, are coming home

White sand on our lips

We’re coming home


Calling birds in Seagull Square

Hear the town clock strike the hour

Orange light, the rushing sky

Fairgrounds deckchairs, and goodbyes

Castaways - are coming home –

White sand on our lips


Carve her name in shifting sand

Harbingers are painting flowers

Seaweed wash along the shore

Upturned boats sleep on the floor

Castaways, are coming home –

White sand on our lips

Salt lines taint your kiss


Now this old town

Took my heart

I’m a castaway like you


We’re coming home

Cast, oh cast, oh castaway
