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
|
