Driftin'
Sittin' in the shade of a tree That was meant for me A little tired from sun and Sittin' there to feel the breeze And the memories I let my thoughts go runnin' No major discoveries I just let myself ride Why was I so at ease? I can't decide Sittin' 'neath the tree idly That was so shady SongtexteI let myself envision Thinkin' of the dreams And the scenes I could see For me And what was my decision? I knew that the sun was out But how long would it shine? Soon closing in, no doubt But I had time And I'm driftin' No, no direction Chasin' thought after thought Driftin' Into reflection And I don't want it to stop Rolling Rolling with the punches Trying to get with the scheme Rolling Roll with the hunches And somewhere there is a theme Pickin' up the things I mislaid While in the shade My little visit over I step back into the sun My dreamin' done My feet dug in the clover As I ran down the hill I try to catch my mind But I was standin' still 'Cause it was flyin' And I'm driftin' No, no direction Chasin' thought after thought Driftin' Into reflection And I don't want it to stop Ah, rolling Rolling with the punches Rolling best as I can Rolling Rolling with the hunches 'Cause somewhere there is a plan Aus Songtexte Mania
