Roy Orbison - Drifting Away Lyrics

(Roy Orbison/Bill Dees)

Sadness slips into the room on silent steps of sorrow
Stealing sleep and all my dreams
Where will he be tomorrow

Lying with you, crying with you, drifting
Talking 'til dawn, yet we go on drifting
Don't understand where we began just drifting apart
Drifting apart, feeling alone, drifting away

We can't seem to work it out
Drifting from day to day
What is it all about
Drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away
Losing the feeling
And now the music of the song is almost gone
That we used to play
From sweet surrender
To drifting away
Drifting

Two lovers lost, two rivers crossed, drifting
Two bridges burned, no lessons learned, drifting
Lonely together, hurting each other
Still we can't say that it's over
Can't we bring back yesterday
Will we be forever, forever drifting away
Drifting, drifting away
