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 !!!

Ursula Burns, Belfast born singer songwriter grew up in a musical family and promptly ran away to join the circus in a vain attempt to escape the fate which awaited her - living as a musician in Northern Ireland. After many years and a few thousand miles walking with a horse drawn Theatre Company, ''Horse and Bamboo'', she decided to come back home and face the music by writing songs. Her first release SINISTER NIPS, and album, ACCORDING TO URSULA BURNS were written on the harp. Her experience as a stage actress was undoubtedly an advantage in presenting and performing her repertoire.
