Written by Eric Beverly
After all these years
You’d think that you would know someone.
Ah, but then these tears
Offer up a new lesson.
You thought you had it made
Laying side by side in bed
You think of all the sweet loving you’ve made
So bitter now that it’s really dead.
Chorus
I’m drifting through a dream
Holding back a scream
Nothing seems to be what it was
Buy “Drifting Through a Dream” at any of these fine stores
Out off the highway
Lying in a motel bed
I’m burning a candle
Trying to get this darkness out of my head
But it’s no use
And nothing now will change the past
I wish that we had known how
How to make it last
Chorus
I’m drifting through a dream
Holding back a scream
Nothing seems to be what it was
Slide guitar solo
If I could just forget
There’d be nothing to regret.
And if I could believe
That there’s someone else out there for me
Maybe I could sleep
A dreamless sleep and wake up with a smile
And I could be at peace
Not feel so desperate and wild.
Chorus
I’m drifting through a dream
Holding back a scream
Nothing seems to be what it was
