Lyrics
[4/4, brightly with full body cast] CAST AWAY --Beth Williams Some people whimper when their hearts get broken Some creatures cry when they’re stabbed in the back The problems I am presently caught up with Are my foot and my arm all wrapped up in fiberglass. The day it all began I didn’t have no fractures Another pretty cold one, kept the kids inside But when my eyes saw that empty bird-feeder I just wasn’t thinkin’ how I’d navigate the ice Oh Cast Away Oh Cast Away Because of you I cannot play Or drive a car I can’t go far Won’t some orthopedic person please take my cast away? My arm was busted cleanly in two places Gonna be some time till anybody gets a hug But my lack of balance didn’t favor no location I went and broke my foot by tripping on a rug. Oh Cast Away Oh Cast Away Because of you I cannot play Or drive a car I can’t go far Won’t some orthopedic person please take my cast away? Now and then I’d see the doc to take more body part pictures He said you’re takin’ prednisone—you ain’t gonna heal for days But after sixteen weeks of hell he said y’know you might get stronger With a little bit of movement—so I’ll take your casts away. Oh Cast Away Oh Cast Away Because of you I had to pay For special shoe Gel inserts too But glory hallelujah! they took my cast away… © 2008 Beth Williams (lyrics), J. Wrabek (music).
