Driftaway

Look inside the mirror

But I don't know who I see

Smoke another cigarette

A smile holds back the tears

These contradictions

Seem to be the story of my life

A simple man with memories

Of those long lost golden days

I close my eyes and slowly driftaway

Mistakes I've made remind me

Of the roads I shouldn't choose

Never comes that easy

When you've nothing left to lose

I can't see the answers

Tell me why am I so blind?

A tired man who'll make the best

Of another lonely day

I close my eyes and slowly driftaway

Never thought I'd make it

Just from playin' my guitar

Just a little smile

Always shelters me from pain

Everytime I start to slide

I wish upon a star

The sun comes out

And dries up all the rain

I'm an honest man

Who refused the shade

On a hot and lonely day

I close my eyes and dream my life away

Now I know that I can stop the rain

Close my eyes and slowly driftaway
