I didn't know that you'd be leaving
|
Or who you thought you were talking to
|
I figure maybe we're even
|
Or maybe I'm one up on you
|
I send you all my money
|
Just like I did before
|
I tried to reach you honey
|
But you're driftin' too far from shore
|
Driftin' too far from shore
|
Driftin' too far from shore.
|
|
I ain't gotta get lost in this current
|
I don't like playing cat and mouse
|
No gentleman likes making love to a servant
|
Especially when he's in his fathers house
|
I never could guess your weight baby
|
Never needed to call you my whore
|
I always thought you were straight baby
|
But you're driftin' too far from shore
|
Driftin' too far from shore
|
Driftin' too far from shore.
|
|
Well, these times and these tunnels are haunted
|
The bottom of the barrel is too
|
I waited years sometimes for what I wanted
|
Everybody can't be as lucky as you
|
Never no more do I wonder
|
Why you don't never play with me any more
|
At any moment you could go under
|
Cause you're driftin' too far from shore
|
Driftin' too far from shore
|
Driftin' too far from shore.
|
|
You and me we had completeness
|
I give you all of what I could provide
|
We weren't on the wrong side sweetness
|
We were the wrong side
|
I've already ripped out the phones honey
|
You can't walk the streets in a war
|
I can't finish this alone honey
|
You're driftin' too far from shore
|
You're driftin' too far from shore.
|
