Drifting Away Lyrics - The Cafe Carlyle Sessions - Christopher Cross

The clock is screaming and it's time to go 

The day is waiting and you're moving slow 

News and weather on the radio 

But your mind keeps driftin' away 

Work is steady and your friends are good 

You're going forward like you think you should 

You'd put your heart into it if you could 

But your mind keeps driftin' away 

Look at your world through the windowpane 

Embrace that secret thing that keeps you sane 

You're always saying that you can't complain 

But your mind keeps driftin' away 

And your mind keeps driftin' away

The conversation turns to seeds you've sown 

It gets you thinkin' 'bout someone you've known 

She's always with you but she's still alone 

And your mind keeps driftin' away 

We make excuses but you know damn well 

A dream's a story only you can tell 

You've tasted heaven and you've been through hell 

But your mind keeps driftin' away 

And your mind keeps driftin' away 

Another sunset another dawn 

Hard to distinguish where the lines are drawn 

Hard to imagine where the time has gone 

You might discover you're where you belong 

When your mind is driftin' away 

And your mind keeps driftin' away

We make excuses but you know damn well 

A dream's a story only you can tell 

You've tasted heaven and you've been through hell 

But your mind keeps driftin' away 

And your mind keeps driftin' away 

And your mind keeps driftin' away
