[sung over guitar lick and river ambience] Ha… just me and the current now Let’s see what floats [Verse 1] Tied up tight on a barbless line Feathers and thread, got peace on my mind Waders deep in the morning mist I don’t chase the fish—I chase what I miss The silence hums, the ripples teach I cast out thoughts just outta reach Old regrets and heavy stones Driftin’ off like they ain’t my own [Chorus] So I cast it all away Like a whisper on the wind, let the current take the weight Let the line fly free, let my soul unwind Every scar, every tear, every shadow in my mind Yeah, I cast it all away Like it never had a name Fly dancing on the water (Til I don’t feel the pain) [Verse 2] There’s a box of flies and a box of truth Wrapped in silence from my youth Each loop and whip’s a kind of breath To things I loved and laid to rest Some find peace in candlelight Some in wheels or wings in flight Me, I find mine in a mountain stream Where nothing’s ever quite what it seems [Chorus] So I cast it all away Like a dream I couldn’t hold, like a lie I didn’t say Let the sun burn down on this weathered skin I’m a little more free with every cast again Yeah, I cast it all away Like a name scratched in the rain Fly spinning through the stillness (Til I can’t feel the pain) [Bridge – smoky, half-sung with soul and edge] Some folks run, some just break Me? I stand still by the edge of the lake Let the rhythm pull, no tug, no fight Just peace in the cast and a little more light [Final Chorus – twangy, powerful, full-band behind her] So I cast it all away Every weight I carried long, every word I couldn’t say Let the river move through what I can’t explain And I laugh like the wind when I feel that strain Yeah, I cast it all away With every loop I lay Fly rising like a promise (At the breaking of the day) [Outro] [Guitar riff, line whip sound, splash] (Sometimes you let go…) (Ha… and sometimes it lets go of you) [Fade to black with dobro slide and soft Latin rhythm picking]
