Drifters!
Drifters O drifters
What you after?What you are?
Drifters I`m like you are
Keep on drifting forever
You keep drifting;I keep drifting
Knowing not where to;Whatever
Drifter O,O drifter,what you after,what you r
You r water,I`m dreamer,We r like each other
Now full of lustre,now so lacklustre
Drifter O drifter, I`m her after
But she keeps running forever:Like a summer
shadow across the half-lit-meadow You and I
so short-lived,so sadness-strung!
So are the daisies,dahlias,daffodils
Dying still so young and fair,flamming their
sweetness and beauty in the uncharted,unsung
deserted desert air!Drifter O drifter O
Please go & tell her I so miss her,I cry for
Her,Tell her I`m gentle, I am , I am
I kill kiss her every am,pm,now and then
