Just like the driftwood of a dream
Left on the seashore of sleep;
Just like the words that wouldn't rhyme
Lost in the desert of time;
Time waits for no one at all,
No, not even you.
You thought you'd seen it all before,
You really thought you knew.
I don't remember what was said
In the confusion that night.
I only know what's on my mind,
What's in the future we will decide.
Time waits for no one at all,
No, not even you.
You thought you'd seen it all before,
You really thought you knew.
I've shattered the illusion
Of fortune and of fame
But, darling, now I know you,
Life can never be the same,
Oh no... don't leave me driftwood
On the shore.
Time waits for no one at all,
No, not even you.
You thought you'd seen it all before,
You really thought you knew.
I've shattered the illusion
Of fortune and of fame.
I'm waking up,
I'm reaching up,
I'm getting up from this game,
Oh no... don't leave me driftwood
On the shore.
Oh no... don't leave me driftwood
On the shore.
