ROY ORBISON lyrics - Drifting Away

(Roy Orbison/Bill Dees)



Sadness slips into the room on silent steps of sorrow

Stealing sleep and all my dreams

Where will he be tomorrow



Lying with you, crying with you, drifting

Talking 'til dawn, yet we go on drifting

Don't understand where we began just drifting apart

Drifting apart, feeling alone, drifting away



We can't seem to work it out

Drifting from day to day

What is it all about

Drifting away

Drifting away

Drifting away

Losing the feeling

And now the music of the song is almost gone

That we used to play

From sweet surrender

To drifting away

Drifting



Two lovers lost, two rivers crossed, drifting

Two bridges burned, no lessons learned, drifting

Lonely together, hurting each other

Still we can't say that it's over

Can't we bring back yesterday

Will we be forever, forever drifting away

Drifting, drifting away
