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'll be so much fun

And then she smiled

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

Under 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 it right?

Happy to listen

Happy to stay

Happily watching her drift away

You keep on turning pages for people who don't care

People who don't care about you

And still, it takes you ages to 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 news

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
