Drifters Lyrics - Painter Passing Through - Gordon Lightfoot

I don't believe in miracles if it's all the same by you 

Your wishes would come true if I had my say 

Whether it's right or wrong, the words of every song 

Remind us of a love we knew 

Where love should not go wrong, in yesterdays 

Hang on ye drifters now 

You got so much to go and gamble on 

Watch out for the shifting sand 

Where ever you may ramble 

Even now, as I look back and see all that's come to pass 

I can't remember how it was I got here 

Look around this place, there's a smile on every face 

We're somewhere in the afterglow, out there among the stars 

Out there among the bars 

Hang on ye drifters now 

You got places to go and people to meet 

Watch out for the shifting tide 

Where ever you may travel 

I know I should not complain because life's been good to me 

It feels real good to be stranded on my own 

Be that as it may be, we are what we are 

I'll find you in the afterglow out there among the stars 

Of yesteryear 

Hang on ye drifters now 

You got so much to go and gamble on 

Watch out for the shifting sand 

Where ever you may ramble 

All you drifters now 

You got places to go and people to meet 

Watch out for the shifting tide 

Where ever you may travel
