DRIFTIN'

 

when there's wine in your belly

love rhythms on your tongue

for you are a woman

and each man has been too young

but for me you were a lover

gently under your cover

your sheet reeks of others

 

oh! i came here to hold and be held for a while

 

i've been driftin'

like a dream out on the sea

i've been driftin'

in between you and me

every time i think about you

i can't remember

right or wrong

you know i just don't remember

all i want to be is what you mean to me

all i want to be is what you mean to me

 

late last night

as i dreamed in dizzy sunlight

i thought i heard your bare feet up the stairs

just like a fool

just like a fool

but i've been driftin'

like a dream out on the sea

i've been driftin'

in between what used to be
