The drifter

Well, I´m the drifter
I walk the highways
I cross the river
That rolls on forgotten
I sing for the living
And 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
I saw forever across the ocean
But you found me waitin´
And you knew that I would
Be lost forever
If I kept on trying alone
They´d call me the drifter
And I walked the highways
I crossed every river
That rolled on forgotten
I´d sing for the living,
But inside was dying
But what´s it about
If you got to be trying alone
Well, I´m the drifter
Who saw the answer
And when I found you, I knew forever
It would be forever
And not for sometimes
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
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
I walk the highways
I cross the river
That rolls on forgotten
I sing for the living
And 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
I saw forever across the ocean
But you found me waitin´
And you knew that I would
Be lost forever
If I kept on trying alone
They´d call me the drifter
And I walked the highways
I crossed every river
That rolled on forgotten
I´d sing for the living,
But inside was dying
But what´s it about
If you got to be trying alone
Well, I´m the drifter
Who saw the answer
And when I found you, I knew forever
It would be forever
And not for sometimes
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
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
