Finale Lyrics by Swept Away Original Broadway Cast

Swept Away (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2025

[MATE]
Once I was a carpenter, and man, my hands were callused
I could swing a metal mallet sure and straight
But I took to the highway, a poet young and hungry
And I left the timbers rotting where they lay
Forever I will move
Like the world that turns beneath me
And when I lose my direction
I'll look up to the sky
And when the black cloak drags upon the ground
I'll be ready to surrender
[MATE and LITTLE BROTHER]
And remember we're all in this together
If you live the life you're given, you won't be scared to die
[CAPTAIN, spoken]
There are calm seas ahead. Sail on
[LITTLE BROTHER, spoken]
Keep going, brother
[BIG BROTHER, spoken]
Make yourself clean
[MATE]
My life is but a coin, pulled from an empty pocket
Dropped into a slot with dreams of sevens close behind
Hope and fear go with it
And the moon and the sun go spinning
Like the numbers and the fruit before our eyes
Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind
[COMPANY]
Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind
[MATE]
Forever I will move
Like the world that turns beneath me
And when I lose my direction
I'll look up to the sky
And when the black cloak drags upon the ground
I'll be ready to surrender
And remember well we're all in this together
[COMPANY]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[MATE]
If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die
[COMPANY]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ah
[MATE]
Lord, lay your hand on my shoulder
Guide me to our home
My days are just about over
The here after's unknown
The sea can have this tired heart
The sun can bleach my bones
[MATE, COMPANY]
Oh
Lord, lay your hand on my shoulder
And guide me (guide me)
Guide me (guide me)
Guide me (Oh)
Ah
Home
[LITTLE BROTHER]
Well you send my life a-whirling
Darling when you're twirling
On the floor
[LITTLE BROTHER, BIG BROTHER, CAPTAIN]
And who cares about tomorrow?
What more is tomorrow than another day?
[LITTLE BROTHER]
When you swept me away?
[LITTLE BROTHER, BIG BROTHER, CAPTAIN]
Well, you swept me away
[MATE]
Yeah, you swept me away
