Driftin' Away

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
