Cast Adrift
Preston Miller  2009

As I go they start to flow, salty rain,
Wash away the pain, of leaving you,
Rivers start to rise, filled with tears from my eyes,
 I will surely drown, got to find high ground,
Until the tears run dry,

Cast adrift in a sea of tears, cried for love that's gone,
Thinking back over all the years, about our love so strong,

I know that you are crying too, from a pain that runs so deep,
It robs you of your sleep, I feel the same way too,
Baby I am so alone, would you try again if I come back home,
You see I really care, I lied before I swear, I can't fake it no more,

Cast adrift in a sea of tears, cried for love that's gone,
Thinking back over all the years, about our love so strong,

 (Lead)

(Bridge)
We can't stay together, we can't stay apart,
It's like dancing to the rhythm of a broken heart,
But it beats setting alone,

(Short Lead)

Cast adrift in a sea of tears, cried for love that's gone,
Thinking back over all the years, about our love so strong,

(Reprise)

Silence is the only sound,
That makes the spinning wheels of love slow down,
Yeah, Our silence is the only sound,
That makes the spinning wheels of love slow down.

Thanks again guys for making an old country boy's dreams come true.

Thanks everyone for the kind words,  :) :) :)  my time is a bit limited right now so I can't respond to each of you as I should. Hopefully, I will get some more time soon.

Paulo, if you still have the .ape, feel free to post it. If not, I will post it when I get back home.

LOL, I finally found Paulo's .ape file on a different computer than where it should be and was going to upload it, but again, Paulo has beat me to the punch. Thanks Paulo and everyone who's said all the kind words above.

I would also like to acknowledge the time and effort that my long time bandmates Kim & Dave (AKA sony_cher) took with the arrangement and execution of this song. Thanks Guys.

And thanks to all the players and friends involved.

Thanks John.  :)  You can bet that I will start another project as time allows. It's always a pleasure working with you my friend.

As for Kim and Dave, they travel all over the country with their work and lead very busy lives. Dave and I are planing to go over some material that he and a friend wrote some time ago while we're at a music festival that's coming up soon. Perhaps they will become more involved here with some of those tunes. I dunno? I hope so.

Got to run.  :P

You've nailed it John!  (but you don't owe me anything, I owe you brother)

Everyone at Winfield will miss Danny - Big Time - but life goes on.   :'( :'(
