The Drifter

i always seem to be biding my time
just until i get to the next town
i found myself lingering here
until we used each other up

you drain my joy,
and i drink your sorrow,
and then we’ll drift away…
and then i’ll drift away…

i’m just biding my time
until i get to the next town
maybe i’ll stop by the old place for a visit
but it’s clear i’ve over-stayed my welcome

you drain my compassion,
and i drain your patience,
and then we’ll drift away…
and then i’ll drift away…

i’m just binding my time
until i get to the next town
i always come upon a small town of potential
and leave a city in ruins

you drain my energy,
and i drain your sympathy,
and then we’ll drift away…
and then i’ll drift away…

by the time we’re drowning in each other
it’ll be too late

i was just biding my time
until i get to the next town
we’ve used each other up now
now is the cue to move on to the next town
one day you’ll realize when i’m not around
i”ll just drift away
