Dreamdrift - 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
