Drifting Love

by Thomas Anderson

from the album Analog Summer

The sun is down the sky is red,

All your sweet words are in my head,

And the robin sings til the wind does shift,

I reach out my arms to you,

I call your name like lovers do,

But your precious love has begun to drift.

And there's nothing I can do to bring you home,

And there's nothing I can do to repair the rift,

And there's nothing I can do to make you see,

And you pull away as your love begins to drift.

How you gazed into my eyes,

It's with me 'til the day I die

As fortune takes and fortune gives its gifts.

I've lost the words that you could hear,

Our language all has disappeared,

In the silent hours your love begins to drift.

Would you turn your back and walk away,

From these chains of love your limbs you lift;

Would you turn your back and ride the midnight train,

And you pull away as your love begins to drift.

And there's nothing l can do..
