Lyrics


Drifting


You know sometimes I feel sad
That we don’t have what we used to
A friendship built on solid gold
And it was so true

But now you’ve gone away from me darling
Like the moon coming out of orbit
Now all I hear is your voice in my head
And I’m too afraid to call it

You’re drifting away from me
Your spirits not the same as it used to be
You’re drifting away from me
And I wish that you could see
What it’s doing to me

I try to think of something else
But then a vision of you invades my mind
And that vision becomes a dream
A dream I will never find

Theres a feeling that I get
When nothing else seems to make any sense
And this feeling that I get
Dosent make any sense to me

You’re drifting away from me
Your spirits not the same as it used to be
You’re drifting away from me
And I wish that you could see
What its doing to me
