I'm A Drifter

(álbum: Today - 1969)

You knew I could not stay for long when you asked me
To come over in the wee hours of the morning

I said I could not let the sunrise catch me sleeping
And that is why I've giving you fair warning

And though you might have loved me like I never ever have been
Loved before your front door is open
And I've got to keep on moving

So I will stay with you a while and then I'll
Let my hitch hike thumb take me to where I wanna

Because I've got to keep on searching for the dream that I've been seeking
Since I left my home in Oklahoma

And who's to say but that I might not be back tomorrow
If I find there's only sorrow you may see me from your windowsill
Next morning

I'm a drifter and I've seen the rain
I'm a drifter and I've felt the pain, the pain that comes with loneliness
So I drift from town to town searching all around
Looking for the answer to my sorrow
And if the answer is you then I'll be back tomorrow

Lets make the most of time before the break of day
But don't try to make me stay if I don't want to

Because I've got to keep on searching for that dream
And you can't bind me with the simple words I love you

But if I realize the dream that I've been searching for
Is waiting here behind your door
Then I'll come back to stay if you still want me to

I'm a drifter and I've seen the rain
I'm a drifter and I've felt the pain the pain that comes with loneliness
So I drift from town to town searching all around
Looking for the answer to my sorrow
And if the answer is you then I'll be back tomorrow

I'm a drifter and I've seen the rain
I'm a drifter and I've felt the pain the pain that comes with loneliness
So I drift from town to town searching all around
Looking for the answer to my sorrow
And if the answer is you then I'll be back tomorrow

I'm a drifter...
