Drift Away

Verse 1

Midnight turns to orange somewhere

A ticket folded in my pocket

Nobody has to know my name down there

A different sun a different season

Let the office phone ring out

Let the city sleep without me

I keep a little coastline in my mind

And I follow it out

Chorus

Take me where the water's warm

Where nobody counts the hours

Take me down that lazy shore

Let the whole week drift away

Verse 2

If I stayed I'd still be dreaming

Of a quiet boat a borrowed sky

No appointments no alarm clock

Just the taste of salt on my tongue

Maybe I'll go maybe I won't

Half of it is just the wanting

Half of it is packing light

And never looking back

Chorus

Take me where the water's warm

Where nobody counts the hours

Take me down that lazy shore

Let the whole week drift away

Verse 3

Somewhere in the fading summer

A stranger waits with open arms

Is it love or just the weather

Either way I'll take it now

A little sun on tired shoulders

A little rum to smooth the edges

Still my whole life back at home

Still I drift away

Chorus

Take me where the water's warm

Where nobody counts the hours

Take me down that lazy shore

Let the whole week drift away

guitar solo

Bridge

Let the tide decide

Come a little closer to the water

Hours mean nothing here

Let me hold you longer

Solo

Final Chorus

Take me where the water's warm

Where nobody counts the hours

Take me down that lazy shore

Let the whole week drift away
