Yes, drifting in open space
Ain't you have no sense, babe
Of the time and place
No one to lead you
To the open gates of your dreams, no more
While you're sifting through the letters old
And you stumble, stumble on forgotten gold
Yesterday's memories thickly entwine
Series of growing pains
But don't care too much
I said about things lost
Only offerage, baby, are things enforced (?)
Had to face the human race
Don't let it get you down
Go and take up anything
Don't you leave my town
While you are sifting through the letters old
Yesterday's memories thickly entwine
Series of growing pains
Yes, drifting in open space
Ain't you have no sense, babe
Of the time and place
No one to lead you
To the open gates of your dreams, no more
While you're sifting through the letters old
And you stumble, stumble on forgotten gold
Yesterday's memories thickly entwine
Can't see me baby
Oh, I'm drifting, flying by
Friendly persuasion
Eclipsing the moment
That's to remember with heart beating joy
Yesterdays are memories, they hang on to me
Simple, but merrily playing a song
