[Verse 1]
Flotsam and Jetsam

Time will sweep these things away
And I'll be carried by the wave
[Chorus]
Carried by the wave

My soul surrendered to the undertow
Driven by the tide

And I'll be carried by the wave
[Chorus]
Carried by the wave
Carried by the wave
My soul surrendered to the undertow
Driven by the tide
I'm headed for the shore
These lonely, scattered pieces heading home
[Outro]
Like it was before
Joined forever more
These lonely, scattered pieces heading home
Heading home
Heading home
