The Drift Lyrics

We were a blazing fire, you and I

A love that painted sunsets in the sky

But somewhere in the quiet, in the days

The shifting tides just pulled us different ways

It's the drift, the silent, subtle drift

That turns the brightest heart to empty sift

Where once we glowed, a shadow falls so long

Your face, beloved, fading like a song

Like the painting on the wall, you hung so bright

Unseen now, in shades of borrowed light

The furniture of comfort, where I laid my soul

Now creaks with distance, a story grown old

It's the drift, the silent, subtle drift

That turns the brightest heart

That turns the brightest heart to empty sift

Where once we glowed, a shadow falls so long

Your face, beloved, fading like a song

Ghost of what we were, that's all you are

Once my guiding light, now a distant star

Memories are ashes, scattered on the floor

The heart that held you beats with love no more

The heart that held you beats with love no more

It's the drift, the silent, subtle drift

That turns the brightest heart to empty sift

Where once we glowed, a shadow falls so long

Your face, beloved, fading like a song

Were we ever real

Or just a dream I knew

The drift has taken all of me, all of you

The drift has taken all of me, all of you

All of you

All of me

All of me

All of me

All of you

All of you
