Driftin Away lyrics

Words and music by Christopher Cross and Rob Meurer

The clock is screaming and it`s time to go
The day is waiting and you`re moving slow
News and weather on the radio
But your mind keeps driftin` away

Work is steady and your friends are good
You`re going forward like you think you should
You`d put your heart into it if you could
But your mind keeps driftin` away

Look at your world through the windowpane
Embrace that secret thing that keeps you sane
You`re always saying that you can`t complain
But your mind keeps driftin` away
And your mind keeps driftin` away

The conversation turns to seeds you`ve sown
It gets you thinkin` `bout someone you`ve known
She`s always with you but she`s still alone
And your mind keeps driftin` away

We make excuses but you know damn well
A dream`s a story only you can tell
You`ve tasted heaven and you`ve been through hell
But your mind keeps driftin` away
And your mind keeps driftin` away

Another sunset another dawn
Hard to distinguish where the lines are drawn
Hard to imagine where the time has gone
You might discover you`re where you belong
When your mind is driftin` away
And your mind keeps driftin` away

We make excuses but you know damn well
A dream`s a story only you can tell
You`ve tasted heaven and you`ve been through hell
But your mind keeps driftin` away
And your mind keeps driftin` away
And your mind keeps driftin` away
