Drift Away

[Verse 1]
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'll be so much fun
And then she smiled, that's what I'm after
The smile in her eyes, the sound of her laughter
Happy to listen, happy to play
Happily watching her drift away

[Verse 2]
Happily waiting, all on my own
Under 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 it right?
Happy to listen, happy to stay
Happily watching her drift away

[Bridge]
You keep on turning pages for people who don't care
People who don't care about you
And still it takes you ages to see that no one's there
See that no one's there
See that no one's there
Everyone's gone on without you

[Verse 3]
Finally something, finally news
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
