Lyrics

Drifter

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.

I drift on by

Like a boat without a name

I'm taking my time

Let the wind just blow me away

I'm only passing by

I Wish that I could stay

(I'm only passing by, I'm only passing by)

Trying to find love in a foreign place

I take both sides

Of the bed when I'm awake

But I could never dream alone

If you are the tide to pull me down tonight

(I'm only passing by, I'm only passing by)

You'll be the rock that held me down

I will sail again

I should have done wrong, should have done wrong

I could see the end in sight

And I know it's my time

I'm only passing by, I wish that I could stay

Trying to find love in the farthest place

Oh, I could sail again

I should have done wrong, should have done wrong

I could see the end in sight

And I know it's my...

I will sail, I'll sail again

I should have done wrong, should have done wrong

Finally the end's in sight

And I know it's my time

(It's about time)

I'm only passing by, I wish that I could stay

(I'm only passing by, I'm only passing by)

Trying to find love in a foreign place

I will sail again

I should have done wrong, should have done wrong

I could see the end in sight

And I know it's my...

I will sail, I'll sail again

I should have done wrong, should have done wrong

Finally the end's in sight

And I know it's my time

I should have done wrong, should have done wrong

I should have done wrong, I should have done you wrong

I should have done wrong, should have done wrong

I should have done wrong
