Lyric The Drifter

Written by: Neil Diamond

Well, I am the drifter
I walk the highways
I cross the river
That rolls on forgotten

I sing for the living
Live for the trying
But what s it about
If you got to be trying alone

And I m the dreamer
Who climbed the mountain
Who saw forever
Across the ocean

But you found me waiting
And knew that I would
Be lost forever
I kept on trying alone

They call me the drifter
And I walk the highways
I crossed every river
That rolled on forgotten

I d sing for the living
But inside was dying
Cause what s it about
If you got to be trying alone

Well, I m the drifter
Who solved the answer
And when I found you
I knew for ever
Would be for ever
And not for some time
And you d be mine
Won t have to be trying alone

Now I sing like a dreamer
And I walk like I m flying
I looked in your eyes
There was no use denying
You cared for that moment
And I knew the answer
I came for a while
And I stayed for the rest of my life
I came for a while
And I stayed for the rest of my life
I came for a while
And I stayed for the rest of my life

Well, I was the drifter
And I walked the highways
I crossed every river
That rolled on forgotten

I sang for the living
And lived for the trying
I came for a while
And I stayed for the rest of my life
