Castaway Songtext
von Steve Knightley

Walking through wooddland staring at the rain
I heard voices in the breeze
The wind was changing I couldn′t stay
Found myself running through the trees
Oh the lights shone down below from the houses and the farms
From the distant ships out in the bay
Somewhere in the space between the darkness and the light
I fell from the edge of the day

No signal no siren, no warning signs on my way
I woke on the shores of this island castaway.


Cold air found me I was sleeping in the sand
Waiting for some feeling to return
No one around me, I walked along the strand
Looking for driftwood I could burn
Ashes and smoke they soared into the sky
Watching my future drift away
Somewhere in the space between the dusk and the dawn
I fell from the edge of the day

No signal no siren no warning signs on my way
I woke on the shores of this island, castaway.

Walking in footprints, maybe they're mine
The sun is in the wrong half of the sky
Staring into distance I′m looking for sails
Of some other stranger passing by
Feeling like the shark that slips into the deep
Sinking every second that it's still
Somewhere in the space between the sunset and the day
Something inside just wasn't filled

How long will I wait here - how many years must I stay?!
Just staring out at the horizon, castaway.

No signal, no siren, no warning signs on my way
I woke on the shores of this island, castaway.
