Lyrics
Drifter II
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You missed so much while you were gone
The leaves have changed, and so have I
While you were singing strangers songs
The world kept spinning softly by
Your baby sister turned eighteen
She'll pack her things and move away
The dog got shaky in the knees
Soon I'll join him in the grave
Cause time it stops for no man
So be careful where you go
Love as well as you can
While you still have somewhere to call your home
I think about her on the road
And say: It's fine when it's just me
They were so kind over in Oklahoma
I could have stayed in New Orleans
She'll be hanging out with friends
I'm in a hotel room alone
Tomorrow there's another wedding
We'll talk right after on the phone
And she'll say
Time it stops for no man
So be careful what you do
Love as well as you can
While you still have somebody loving you
If you find that the golden shore
That you've been aiming your whole life toward
Is darker than you'd expected
If you grow tired of all your running
Drifter please return to us and
Settle down, settle in
Cause time it stops for no man
So be careful where you roam
Love as well as you can
While you still have someone to call you home
