The Drifter Lyrics

The times may be a-changin'

But they're running out on me

No strength to keep them waiting

And that doesn't come for free

A life bred on the stages

Like some crass-course destiny

I'm burnin' through the pages

Of my own mortality

Time waits for no one

Like a restless heart in the night

Pride is like stormy weather

It's just around the bend, out of sight

I've spent my days on the telephone

My heart could never be just my own

I've lived inside a real glass stone

But I'm trying to break free

A drifter

I'm hearing the call

A drifter

It's all that I know

A drifter

I'll walk through the snow

And I'm on my way to you

And I'm on my way to you

So much I may have wasted

Like a dog without a leash

There's lots I haven't tasted

Just the apple from the tree

I'm waiting to be tested

Lest the floor give out on me

Not sure what I expected

Searching for eternity

Signs pointing nowhere

Leave an ocean wave looking dry

Broken dawns carry heavy loads

My feet tread hard against these roads

Nothing's clear of where this goes

'Tis the point where I retreat

A drifter

I'm hearing the call

A drifter

You're all that I know

A drifter

I'll run through the snow

And I'm on my way to you

And I'm on my way to you

And I'm on my way to you
