Dreamdrift

Compositor: Gordon Lightfoot

I'm like a drifter and I'm drifting along
I might go swifter, but the wind is so strong
My body tells me I should let it slow down
Still, I keep wishing I was in the next town

In dreams, I'm drifting on a sea of dismay
You should not meet me when I'm feeling this way
I'm still a drifter, and I'd like to hold on
I could go swifter but the road is so long

I'm still as crazy as I always have been
I could get lazy, but my shoes are too thin
My radar tells me there's a ghost at my side
Still, I keep walking, and the ghost gets a ride

I drift in limbo on a bed of thin air
I see a bimbo and there is nobody there
I'm still as crazy as I always will be
I could get hazy, but the road is on me

I'm like a drifter just like I always was
They call me mister, there is no special cause
My sister tells me I'm a sight to behold
My daughter tells me to come in from the cold

I get to heaven and there is no one around
You should not meet me when I'm back down on the ground
I'm still a drifter, but I like to hang on
I could go swifter, but the wind is so strong

I drift in limbo on a bed of thin air
I see a bimbo and there is nobody there
I'm still as crazy as I always have been
I could get hazy it's the space I am in
