Drift Away

Here in the garden, let's play a game
I'll show you how it's done
Here in the garden, stand very still
This will be so much fun

And then she smiles, that's what I'm after
A smile in her eyes, the sound of her laughter
Happy to listen, happy to play
Happily watching her drift away

Happily waiting, all on my own
And in the endless sky
Counting the seconds, standing alone
As thousands of years go by

Happily wondering night after night
Is this how it works am I doing this right
Happy to listen, happy to stay
Happily watching her drift away

You keep on turning peaches
People don't care
People don't care about you

And standing takes you ages
See that no one's there
See that no one's there
See that no one's there
Everyone's gone on without you

Finally something, finally new
About how the story ends
She doesn't exist now, survived by her son
And all of her brand new friends

Isn't that lovely, isn't that cool
And isn't that cruel and aren't I a fool to have
Happily listened, happy to stay
Happily watching her drift
Drift
Drift
Away
