Christopher Cross - Drifting 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
