Richard Shindell Castaway Lyrics

CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: C G C F C G
I welcome you my little man
Stolen from your sleepy land
Cut loose from her, my callused 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 will never______ be alone
Ocean fall or ocean rise
I, 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__
