Drift Away

A young boy and a young girl meet at school
They spend some time and learn about some rules
The young girl moves along and the young boy writes a song
That they would never drift away

Years later that boy became a man
He traveled lots to play shows with his band
The young girl grew up too
Got his letters and kept a few
So they would never drift away

And after all those years, the thought of him remained
And after all these years, the thought of her remained
And they would never drift away

She found his number and gave him a call
It rang and rang till his phone fell off the wall
He moved out of state
Packed his things a week too late
He prayed that they won't drift a way

And after all those years, the thought of him remained
And after all these years, the thought of her remained
And they would never drift away

So he got old and moved back into town
She lived her life too and came back around
One day he grabbed his mail and saw her face, a fairy tale
And they would never drift away

And after all those years, the thought of him remained
And after all these years, the thought of her remained
And they would never drift away
