drifting away

lyric + music by skylark

i feel a righteous weight is on me

hard times are playing on my mind

but when you shine your love light on me

i go drifting away

when these evenings come to haunt me

and this dark conspires to leave me blind

you just tell me that you want me

and i go drifting away

you make it rock, you make it roll

you shake the blues out from my soul

drifting away

you’re like a glass of lemonade

on a blanket in the shade

i really got it made

drifting away

i remember when you found me

i was only half a man

it’s because your loving grounds me

i can go drifting away

i believe you truly see me

though at times i might not understand

you’ve got a powerful love

and it sends me drifting away

you make it rock, you make it roll

you shake the blues out from my soul

drifting away

you’re like a glass of lemonade

on a blanket in the shade

i really got it made

drifting away

i really got it made

drifting away
