2
Well, I am the drifter
3
I walk the highways
4
I cross the river
5
That rolls on forgotten
6
I sing for the living
7
Live for the trying
8
But what's it about
9
If you got to be trying alone
10
And I'm the dreamer
11
Who climbed the mountain
12
Who saw forever
13
Across the ocean
14
But you found me waiting
15
And knew that I would
16
Be lost forever
17
I kept on trying alone
18
They call me the drifter
19
And I walk the highways
20
I crossed every river
21
That rolled on forgotten
22
I'd sing for the living
23
But inside was dying
24
'Cause what's it about
25
If you got to be trying alone
26
Well, I'm the drifter
27
Who solved the answer
28
And when I found you
29
I knew for ever
30
Would be for ever
31
And not for some time
32
And you'd be mine
33
Won't have to be trying alone
34
Now I sing like a dreamer
35
And I walk like I'm flying
36
I looked in your eyes
37
There was no use denying
38
You cared for that moment
39
And I knew the answer
40
I came for a while
41
And I stayed for the rest of my life
42
I came for a while
43
And I stayed for the rest of my life
44
I came for a while
45
And I stayed for the rest of my life
46
Well, I was the drifter
47
And I walked the highways
48
I crossed every river
49
That rolled on forgotten
50
I sang for the living
51
And lived for the trying
52
I came for a while
53
And I stayed for the rest of my life
