Castaways Lyrics


By shadowing
All the darkened fields
Of forgotten words
And civilian livesViolence
Through the changing guards
Through the grinding away
And their furious marchingBy gathering the holy light
And weathering
A castaway life
And the rising fearThe hollowness
Of the flags and gods
That are raised in the air
In the wake of their ragingYour skinny arms
Hold the lantern up
On the brightest array
Of the stars in their mooringsAnd summoning
The holy light down
On citadels

The blackening skyCollapsing sun
The burning wall
That approaches our eyesYou live again
In the shuddering light
These images
This valedictionYou are running from
A rising tide
You are castaways

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Shearwater was formed by two bandmembers of Austin, TX's Okkervil River. Okkervil's back-up vocalist and accordion/keyboard player Jonathan Meiburg and singer and guitarist Will Sheff formed Shearwater so they could write quieter songs. Beginning in 2005, Sheff lessened his role in the band, leaving Meiburg as the band's songwriter from Palo Santo on. Band members today include Jonathan Meiburg, Thor Harris, Kim Burke, Lucas Oswald, with many contributions from others.
