Lyrics Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot

Drifters

I don't believe in miracles if it's all the same by you

Your wishes would come true if I had my say

Whether it's right or wrong, the words of every song

Remind us of a love we knew

Where love should not go wrong, in yesterdays

Hang on ye drifters now

You got so much to go and gamble on

Watch out for the shifting sand

Where ever you may ramble

Even now, as I look back and see all that's come to pass

I can't remember how it was I got here

Look around this place, there's a smile on every face

We're somewhere in the afterglow, out there among the stars

Out there among the bars

Hang on ye drifters now

You got places to go and people to meet

Watch out for the shifting tide

Where ever you may travel

I know I should not complain because life's been good to me

It feels real good to be stranded on my own

Be that as it may be, we are what we are

I'll find you in the afterglow out there among the stars

Of yesteryear

Hang on ye drifters now

You got so much to go and gamble on

Watch out for the shifting sand

Where ever you may ramble

All you drifters now

You got places to go and people to meet

Watch out for the shifting tide

Where ever you may travel
