The Drifter

The times may be a-changin'
But they're running out on me
No strength to keep them waiting
And that doesn't come for free
A life bred on the stages
Like some crass-course destiny
I'm burnin' through the pages
Of my own mortality

Time waits for no one
Like a restless heart in the night
Pride is like stormy weather
It's just around the bend, out of sight

I've spent my days on the telephone
My heart could never be just my own
I've lived inside a real glass stone
But I'm trying to break free

A drifter
I'm hearing the call
A drifter
It's all that I know
A drifter
I'll walk through the snow
And I'm on my way to you
And I'm on my way to you

So much I may have wasted
Like a dog without a leash
There's lots I haven't tasted
Just the apple from the tree
I'm waiting to be tested
Lest the floor give out on me
Not sure what I expected
Searching for eternity

Signs pointing nowhere
Leave an ocean wave looking dry

Broken dawns carry heavy loads
My feet tread hard against these roads
Nothing's clear of where this goes
'Tis the point where I retreat

A drifter
I'm hearing the call
A drifter
You're all that I know
A drifter
I'll run through the snow
And I'm on my way to you
And I'm on my way to you
And I'm on my way to you
