Drifts Away Lyrics

DRIFTS AWAY

I hope that you don't mind if I'm not up for conversation now

There's something I've forgotten; I'd like to try to get it back somehow

I stare into the distance, forgot what I was gonna try to say

That dream, it held the answers, but as I watch the dream just drifts away

I've got that strong black coffee; the mug is warm and steaming in my hands

The morning has a million things, a million tasks, a million little plans

What happened in the midnight, it's vanished in sunlight of today

That dream, it held the answers, but as I watch the dream just drifts away

I used to be a sailor, and sailed out on the oceans strange and far

Somehow, I ran aground here and had to make my home now where we are

Sometimes I can remember, sometimes I'm just a ragged castaway

That dream, it held the answers, but as I watch the dream just drifts away
