Dryer Land

just a little time
till i come to shore
somewhere that i've seen
but never been before
i am driftwood now
i am homeward bound
pull me from the sea
save what's left of me
'cause i'm tired and worn
from the tides and storms
so forgive my wrongs
i am driftwood now
i am homeward bound
pull me from the sea
save what's left of me
'cause i'm tired and worn
from the tides and storms
and i've made my plans
back on dryer land
so forgive my wrongs
