The Drifter lyrics

Artist  : Neil Diamond 
Song : 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
