Drifting Away

    Drifting away,

                      Floating like a leaf on a lake.

I look around just to see,

                                  But the world keeps spinning.

I hear your voice calling to me,

                                          I cannot wait.

There's a deeper meaning to me,

                                              But I can't relate.

I miss the color of your eyes,

                                        The way you smile in the night.

I'll bring you closer to me,

                                    When the time is right.

      And now we're drifting away,

                                            Floating like a leaf on a lake.

      Drifting away,

                        Like a bird on the wing.

I tried so hard to find you,

                                  I almost missed everything.

Now your tears are falling,

                                    And I'm not there.

You've missed the dawning,

                                      Always grasping at air.

I miss the feel of your touch,

                                        And the way you feel.

I'd bring you closer to me,

                                    You make my senses reel.

      But now we're drifting away,

                                            Like a bird on the wing.
