Dreamdrift Songtext
von Gordon Lightfoot

I′m like a drifter and I'm drifting along
I might go swifter but the wind is so strong
My body tells me I should let it slow down
Still I keep wishing I was in the next town
In dreams, I′m drifting on a sea of dismay
You should not meet me when I'm feeling this way
I'm still a drifter and I′d like to hold on
I could go swifter but the road is so long


I′m still as crazy as I always have been
I could get lazy but my shoes are too thin
My radar tells me there's a ghost at my side
Still I keep walking and the ghost gets a ride
I drift in limbo on a bed of thin air
I see a bimbo and there is nobody there
I′m still as crazy as I always will be
I could get hazy but the road is on me

I'm like a drifter just like I always was
They call me mister there is no special cause
My sister tells me I′m a sight to behold
My daughter tells me to come in from the cold
I get to heaven and there is no one around
You should not meet me when I'm back down on the ground
I′m still a drifter but I like to hang on
I could go swifter but the wind is so strong

I drift in limbo on a bed of thin air
I see a bimbo and there is nobody there
I'm still as crazy as I always have been
I could get hazy, it's the space I am in
