The Drifter |
| Well, I’m the drifter |
| I walk the highways |
| I cross the river |
| That rolls on forgotten |
| I sing for the living |
| And live for the trying |
| But what’s it about |
| If you got to be trying alone |
| And I’m the dreamer |
| Who climbed the mountain |
| I saw forever across the ocean |
| But you found me waitin' |
| And you knew that I would |
| Be lost forever |
| If I kept on trying alone |
| They’d call me the drifter |
| And I walked the highways |
| I crossed every river |
| That rolled on forgotten |
| I’d sing for the living |
| But inside was dying |
| But what’s it about |
| If you got to be trying alone |
| Well, I’m the drifter |
| Who saw the answer |
| And when I found you, I knew forever |
| It would be forever |
| And not for sometimes |
| And you’d be mine |
| Won’t have to be trying alone |
| Now I sing like a dreamer |
| And I walk like I’m flying |
| I looked in your eyes |
| There was no use denying |
| You cared for that moment |
| And I knew the answer |
| I came for a while |
| And I stayed for the rest of my life |
| I came for a while |
| And I stayed for the rest of my life |
| I came for a while |
| And I stayed for the rest of my life |
| Well, I was the drifter |
| I walked the highways |
| I crossed every river |
| That rolled on forgotten |
| I sang for the living |
| And lived for the trying |
| I came for a while |
| And I stayed for the rest of my life |
