Footage by: @lindzelles & @savingmemoryarchives Drifting Lyrics: Time and space and I’m out of place Don’t recognise a single face By now I should’ve won the race But I haven’t found a home Seems to me if you don’t catch that vine And swing to the next treebranch in time Years add up and you fall behind And you’re left to walk alone For I’m drifting, I’m drifting and I’m drifting And I’m drifting and I’m drifting and I’m drifting Meet a stranger, tag along Maybe smoke a cigarette all wrong Tell a story, sing a song Lay my head where it don’t belong And somehow it occurs to me That out here on the deep blue sea There are other people drifting too Maybe someday baby I’ll drift into you Maybe someday baby I’ll drift into you Called my shrink the other day Forgot what I was going to say So I lied and said I lost my way ’Cause I couldn’t let him down Put my leather jacket on To play the part of Bad Boy John The brokenhearted vagabond That wandered into town ’Cause I’m drifting, I’m drifting and I’m drifting Yeah I’m drifting and drifting and drifting Meet a stranger, tag along Maybe smoke a cigarette all wrong Tell a story, sing a song Lay my head where it dont belong And somehow it occurs to me That out here on the deep blue sea There are other people drifting too Maybe someday baby I’ll drift into you Maybe someday baby I’ll drift into you Live for the moment ’til the moment is gone Lonesome is the road I’ve been travelling on I go where I want and I don’t miss anyone ’Cause I’m drifting Trying to write a story but I’m stuck on a page God it’s been so long, can’t remember my age I’m lost ’til the minute that I step on the stage ’Cause I’m drifting And I’m drifting Meet a stranger, tag along Maybe smoke a cigarette all wrong Tell a story, sing a song Lay my head where it don’t belong And somehow it occurs to me That out here on the deep blue sea There are other people drifting too Maybe someday baby I’ll drift into you Maybe someday baby I’ll drift into you Maybe someday baby I’ll drift into you
