Lyrics
Drifting
You tell me that I am drifting
across some foreign sky
and that I hardly put an effort
to pull you into my life.
I can not even argue
I am far too far beyond
riding on a current
to a place that's not yet born.
I am drifting in a state of wonder
drifting from these clouds I am under
drifting far away
towards the light of day
I am drifting
I am drifting
Without a sign of loss
I drift to and fro
bound by neither love
nor a kindred soul.
Subject to solitude
in a world that's void
of any time or place
I must be in Hollywood.
I am drifting
in a state of wonder
drifting from these clouds I am under
drifting far away
towards the light of day
I am drifting
I am drifting
Drifting
in a state of wonder
drifting from these clouds I am under
drifting far away
towards the light of day
I am drifting
I am drifting
Flickering lights
in the corpse of the nightlife.
I drift through its veins
without a lifeline.
Eyes closed
while the hands reach out.
I am touching God
on Sunset Boulevard.
I am drifting
drifting far away
I am drifting
