Driftin'

The sun beats down on a hot summer day I lay here and think about fate The deep blue sky fills the gap in the walls I wonder how we got from love to hate

I walk to the ledge, stare down at the river I never thought you'd be the one to leave I leap far out, hit the water feet first I guess it's better to give than receive

All the miles, the water carries me away All the while, thoughts of you just stay

Oh wave, oh sea Won't you please, please, please carry me To the place where you sailed, I'm driftin' But now, I'm floating free, holdin' your sweet breath inside of me I'm drowning in these thoughts of you, I'm driftin' I'm driftin'

The light curves a path through the ripples and waves Your face reappears like a dream With eyes half shut, it is murky and dark I can picture us as happy and clean

In all my dreams I can treat so well I am patient and kind, I'm not blunt I can sit and listen to whatever you say And you can say whatever you want

All this time, I can feel your warmth wash over me All these signs, they point me to where you'll be

Oh wave, oh sea I say please, please, please carry me To the place where you sailed, I'm driftin' But now, I'm floating free, holdin' your sweet breath inside of me I'm drowning in these thoughts of you, I'm driftin' I'm driftin'

Where are you now? The place I want to be I'll take a vow To always believe

Oh wave, oh sea Say you'll please, please, please carry me To the place where you sailed, I'm driftin' But now, I'm floating free, holdin' your sweet breath inside of me
