Driftwood On the River |
| I’m just driftwood on the river, floating down the tide |
| I don’t care where this old river carries me |
| I’ll keep drifting just because my heart is broken inside |
| And I’m tired of wishing for what cannot be |
| I may meet some little driftwood, lost as same as I |
| Share a handshake and a tender tear or two |
| But it’s always good luck, now we’ve got to say goodbye |
| I must wander on to keep my randezvous |
| --- Instrumental --- |
| Though I drift through town and city I can never stay |
| For I find no place to call my home sweet home |
| I don’t ask for help or pitty I’ll just go my way |
| All I’m praying for is peace to dream alone |
| I’m just driftwood on the river and I’m drifting on |
| Till this weary river meets the deep blue sea |
| Where the deep blue sea may help me to forget someone |
| Yes the careless one who has forgotten me |
| In my heart I don’t feel bitter over what has been |
| I feel sorry for the one I must forget |
| And instead of being someone with the world to win |
| I’m just driftwood on the river of regret… |
