Drifting


You're always drifting through my mind
the way it all used to be
the rain holds back for the day
the clouds are still hanging free,

the river is shallow
the banks are high
the tides are out and I
I am dry-
goodbye-
and I cannot find you
far and nigh-
I searched over
earth and sky-

the river runs low tonight
you didn't wait for the tide to rise
you and I could've swam it then
but you only saw drought in my eyes

so if the rains come and you're somewhere close
and the clouds see fit to unwind
the way it all used to be will be
>br> you're always drifting through my mind

wishing you'd drift back into me.
