A bit strange but I hope you enjoy it. The song is really about cruising in my ferrocement yacht through the pacific (happy years) then returning home. But it could be about another kind of trip as well. Cheers.

Drift Away
We live on an is-land sur-rounded by trees we have a great grand plan
It's longer than midnight and covered in leaves we sing it be-cause we can
When I was a young man and worked on the rail trying so hard to con-form
The steam train was snorting de-vouring coal Inde-pendance was being born
Hey Hey Let's drift away Let us an-chor up-on a pale moon
We can sail through bright starlight and play games all night
When we've all had our say we might just drift away in a dream
We float on a footpath in forbidden waters flirting with snake and shark
In - dulging our senses with destiny's daughters tumbling in to the dark
Hey Hey Let's drift away Let us an-chor up-on a pale moon
We can sail through bright starlight and play games all night
When we've all had our say we might just drift away in a dream
To be moored in the mountains part of the land and to know that you've come home
It brings great satisfaction to play in lifes band and leave the deep waters a-lone
Hey Hey Let's drift away Let us an-chor up-on a pale moon
We can sail through bright starlight and play games all night
When we've all had our say we might just drift away in a dream
