Coole Park: Music

Castaway

(Coole Park)
March 4, 2010
Lori Ference, Aaron Solomon


Feelings of desperation and drama prevail in this modern theatrical rock song.

Sailing on black water and there is no land in sight                       

Blown far off course

Swells swallow sunlight

Whitecaps in all directions

Knuckles white, ropes tight and we’re

Tensing and shuddering

 

Water closing in

Struggling to stay afloat

Will this sea entomb me?

Struggling to stay afloat

 

CHORUS:

Nothing to do but let go

Let go and hang on your life

Nothing to do but let go

Let go and hang on to your life

 

I see a light on a rock

Loneliness subsides

As the flickering light beckons me on

And on and on

And I know wherever I land

I’m better for the journey had.
