Driftwood
Lyrics:
After three days of being lost at sea,
I ran ashore to rocky beach.
I met a girl with long brown hair,
Living alone down Mailbox Road.
She told me she had found happiness,
Took a deep breath,
and said, "I'll tell you my story."
A year ago I left home,
And I
wasn't looking back...
From a family of thirteen kids,
Had a
drunk for a dad, and nobody to save me.
Had no money, so I stole a boat.
Learned to
sail and went up the coast.
Had left this world behind,
Get a
fresh start, gonna take my time.
On a fall day a storm rolled in,
Crashed on these rocks and been here ever since.
I built this
home out of pieces of driftwood,
Everything's provided and it comes
from nothing.
In between these two you've got something,
If you
close your eyes...
You can hear the music play.
I spent
the night, and it turned to a week.
I tried to leave, but my attempts
to flee,
Were met with waves crashing down on me.
I waved goodbye to
society.
I never meant to stay so long,
For years restrained
under the Devil's thumb.
Couldn't cross the river for the water's too
high,
Forging away I nearly lost my life.
I built this home
out of pieces of driftwood,
Everything's provided and it comes from
nothing.
In between these two you've got something,
If you close
your eyes...
You can hear the music play.
The winter had
set in and I
wanted to quit.
Jump in that river to never surface.
The kings
will find the Coho in the trees.
There's a look in you eye that never
leaves.
A window to the world is a new sunrise.
For every low
tide there's a Scoter in flight.
Built a fire and I watched burn,
And then the moon came
out...
And I understood.
I built this home out of pieces
of driftwood,
Everything's provided and it comes from nothing.
In
between these two you've got something,
If you close your eyes...
I built this home out of pieces of driftwood,
Everything's
provided and it comes from nothing.
In between these two you've got
something,
If you close your eyes...
You can hear the music
play.
