Drift Away

Here in the garden, let's play a game I'll show you how it's done Here in the garden, stand very still This will be so much fun And then she smiles, that's what I'm after A smile in her eyes, the sound of her laughter Happy to listen, happy to play Happily watching her drift away Happily waiting, all on my own And in the endless sky Counting the seconds, standing alone As thousands of years go by Happily wondering night after night Is this how it works am I doing this right Happy to listen, happy to stay Happily watching her drift away You keep on turning peaches People don't care People don't care about you And standing takes you ages See that no one's there See that no one's there See that no one's there Everyone's gone on without you Finally something, finally new About how the story ends She doesn't exist now, survived by her son And all of her brand new friends Isn't that lovely, isn't that cool And isn't that cruel and aren't I a fool to have Happily listened, happy to stay Happily watching her drift Drift Drift Away
