Drftwood Songtext
von Hazel O’Connor

Sitting on the sunny shoreline
See some driftwood formed a rest
Worn out by the tides
Torn up by its endless rides
Never free, just a bit like me
I′ve been that piece of wood
I've been tossed about upon the ocean
Of illusion, confusion
Brittled and twisted like waves lashing out at the rocks

Well I now know I just gotta find
That shoreline, oh yeah
That little piece of mind
Let the sun shine in

I swam the sea of passion, jealousy and hate
Ignorance pretends to drown
Grabs for your hand again
Drags you down again
Yeah but my soul cries out in vain
Just to break these chains


Well listen, you′ve traveled
All these jungles, concrete and the other kind
You know there's more, you've known
You′ve got your own key to that door
Go on open it, open it, open it up

Well I now know I just gotta find
That shoreline, oh yeah
That little piece of mind
Let the sun shine in

Been a long time from my home
I don′t want to get back there
But most of my memories got washed away with the tide
A friend waits for me at the edge of the sea
And he's calling, "My son, it′s your lover"
I cried, "I'm coming home this time"
Oh beloved wipe away these tears from the eyes
Of my own illusion, confusion
Brittled and twisted like waves lashing out at the rocks

Well I now know I just gotta find
That shoreline, oh yeah
That little piece of mind


I now, I now know I just gotta find
That shoreline, that shoreline
Little piece of mind
I know I gotta find, I know I gotta find
That shoreline, oh shoreline
Little piece of mind
And let the sun shine on in
