The Drifter Lyrics - On The Way To The Sky - Neil Diamond

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
