Drifting Away

These lyrics were inspired by the Jean Paul Sartre novel 'Nausea'.


Drifting Away


sometimes - I feel I’m drifting away
late at night - when I’m thinking about the milky way
I look outside - and I feel like I’m part of a dream
I close my eyes - and I see things I’ve never seen

I’m drifting away
I’m drifting away again

I go downtown - to watch the people but they walk away
we don’t say much - because we don’t have much to say
I’m walking along - I've got a pebble hold it in my hand
there’s something wrong - it’s the pebble that I don’t understand

I’m drifting away
I’m drifting away again
I’m drifting away

too short lengthen it
