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 |
