Driftwood

Just Like the Driftwood of a Dream,
Left On the Seashore of Sleep.
Just Like the Words That Wouldn't Rhyme,
Lost in the Desert of Time.
Time Waits For no One At All,
No, Not Even You.
You Thought You'd Seen It All Before,
You Really Thought You Knew.
I Don't Remember What Was Said,
In the Confusion That Night.
I Only Know What's On My Mind,
What's in the Future We Will Decide.
Time Waits For no One At All,
No, Not Even You.
You Thought You'd Seen It All Before,
You Really Thought You Knew.
I've Shattered the Illusion, Here I Am,
Of Fortune and of Fame. Staring Out to Sea.
But Darling Now I Know You, Wondering If You'll
Life Can Never Be the Same. Ever Come Back to Me.
Oh No, Don't Leave Me Driftwood,
On the Shore.
Time Waits For no One My Love,
No, Not Even You.
You Thought You'd Seen It All Before,
You Really Thought You Knew.
I've Shattered the Illusion, Here I Am,
Of Fortune and of Fame. Staring Out to Sea.
I'm Waking Up, I'm Reaching Up, Waking Up, Reaching Up,
I'm Getting Up From This Game. Come Back to Me.
Oh No, Don't Leave Me Driftwood,
On the Shore.
Oh, no Don't, Don't Leave Me Driftwood,
On the Shore.
Whoa, No, Don't Leave Me Driftwood,
On the Shore.
