Lost on a desert island
In the middle of a million people
Thirsty and alone so alone
I am lost in an endless sea
Call me a castaway
Castaway
I'm just a castaway
Every day
Is just another day
Moon by moon
And year by year
The world reflected
In a single tear
Once I was a captain
Of my own sailing ship
Once I had control
Of every bit of it
When I said jump
Every body jumped
When I gave orders
My words were blunt
But in a storm
My ship ran aground
When I awoke
Not a trace was found
The boat was gone
And the crew was too
And all was left
Was the thought of you
Castaway
I'm just a castaway
Every day
Is just another day
Moon by moon
And year by year
The world reflected
In a single tear
The girl I loved
When I was just a boy
I cast her off
As if she was a toy
What she really was
I guess I never knew
Will she ever come
To my rescue?
Every night
I count the stars so bright
The sun comes up
And they fade in the light
And then the heat
And stillness of the day
Come to burn
My eyes and soul away
Castaway
I'm just a castaway
Every day
Is just another day
Moon by moon
And year by year
The world reflected
In a single tear
