He says, "My friend I don't need much to stay alive.
It doesn't make much difference whether she talks with me or not.
She can just pretend she's listening because I'm not.
My mind wonders starts to drift away ........
and I'm gone."

In the doorway she stands and listens to the tide.
I get lost in the tide and drift away I drift away.

"She's so level headed. I wish I was too.
lying down all day. She must be depressed, but no.
I've seen her smile. It made me ........ drift away."

We have so much in common, like the tide.
Why don't you ever call me. I don't know why.
No, I don't even know.

I drift away in the tide.
I drift away in the tide.
Drift, drift, drift, drift
drift, drift, drift, drift
drift, drift, drift, drift
drift, drift, drift and I'm gone.
