Drifters
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.
We are drifting away
Farther everyday
Soon will have nothing to say
Will be too far away
Too far away
From where we started today
Will be too far away
'Cause we are drifting farther every day
But I will remember
Even if I am drifting far away
But I will remember
Even if I'm fading all away
I dipped my hands into the sea
I pulled the ocean over me
And as the tides swallowed all the shore
I couldn't find you anymore
Were the great drifters
Were the great drifters
We are drifting away
We are drifting away
