The Drifter

Written by: neil diamond Well, i am the drifter i walk the highways i cross the river that rolls on forgotten I sing for the living live for the trying but what's it about if you got to be trying alone And i'm the dreamer who climbed the mountain who saw forever across the ocean But you found me waiting and knew that i would be lost forever i kept on trying alone They call me the drifter and i walk the highways i crossed every river that rolled on forgotten I'd sing for the living but inside was dying 'cause what's it about if you got to be trying alone Well, i'm the drifter who solved the answer and when i found you i knew for ever would be for ever and not for some time and you'd be mine won't have to be trying alone Now i sing like a dreamer and i walk like i'm flying i looked in your eyes there was no use denying you cared for that moment and i knew the answer i came for a while and i stayed for the rest of my life i came for a while and i stayed for the rest of my life i came for a while and i stayed for the rest of my life Well, i was the drifter and i walked the highways i crossed every river that rolled on forgotten I sang for the living and lived for the trying i came for a while and i stayed for the rest of my life
