Driftin’ Songtext
von Eggs Over Easy

Once I had a memory of a girl that I thought I knew
Once I had a handle on the world, somehow I lost that too
Yes, and once I knew this lady, she was a joy for the boy to see
But now I′m sorry to say that the lady's gone away
And it′s really been botherin' me

Because we all just keep on driftin'
A little bit further and further apart
And if the truth be known, I got a funny feelin′ growin′
'Bout the wear and tear on my heart

It occurs to me you can′t go wrong when there isn't anywhere to go
So people, if you hear my song, don′t you hesitate to let me know
I'm not sure what I′m tryin' to tell you
But that I'm tryin′ must be plain to see
It′s just a day-to-day strife tryin' to get through life
And that′s really been botherin' me


Because we all just keep on driftin′
A little bit further and further apart
And if the truth be known, I got a funny feelin' growin′
'Bout the wear and tear on my heart

I never ever wrote a book, but I can read a situation pretty well
Eyes and ears can understand far more than the tongue can tell
Hey, but there's a wind blowin′ over the hilltop
And there′s a tide rollin' into the bay
And this life′s too short and love's too sweet
To let a single moment slip away

But we all just keep on driftin′
A little bit further and further apart
And if the truth be known, I got a funny feelin' growin′
'Bout the wear and tear on my heart
I said we all just keep on driftin'
A little bit further and further apart
And if the truth be known, I got a funny feelin′ growin′
'Bout the wear and tear on my heart
I said we all just keep on driftin′
A little bit further and further apart
And if the truth be known, I got a funny feelin' growin′
'Bout the wear and tear on my heart
