Castaway Songtext

Nothing here reminds me Of the pleasure but the pain So I set sail for a distant shore I?m hoisting up the main! The search for calmer waters Leads me ?cross a stormy sea On this spiritual journey I?m a one-man odyssey, singing I?m so glad you found me In the darkness that surrounds me, woman I?m so glad you found me In the darkness Sailing without compass, chart Or astrolab to guide me I?m just looking for a first mate Who will man the helm beside me Tacking on prevailing winds I sail against the tide It?s the restless inner journey Of a ship called ?Wounded Pride,? Singing I?m so glad you found me . . . Waves capsize the boat I?m tossed into the sea Waters closing overhead I drown in misery Then up from deep below You come and take my hand You lead me to a desert island Lay my weary head upon the sand I?ve sailed all around the world I?ve moored a thousand places Charted the unexplored I?ve known a thousand faces Been seduced by sirens Yes, I?ve wrecked a ship or two Still, I?d rather be a castaway Upon this desert island here with you Oh, I?m so glad you found me In the storm that nearly drown me, woman I?m so glad you found me In the storm that nearly drowned me
