Cast Away

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
