Lyrics
when i wandered through the woods
i wandered off the path
had to clear the way
through the hardships of the past
right-- before i hit the ground
i could see for miles around
autumn filtered through the trees
orange yellow falling leaves
I WAS ONLY JUST A BOY, DIDN'T KNOW IF I COULD SWIM
DIDN'T KNOW IF I COULD FLY, IF I HAD THE STRENGTH WITHIN
HEART AND SOUL KEPT MY CHIN JUST ABOVE THE WATER LINE
KEEP ME DRIFTING OFF IN SPACE, KEEP DRIFTING OFF IN TIME
every moment has its place
temporarily in space
i was once a bonafide
drifter, drifitng off in time
when i drifted off the grid
i could see my shadow dance
he was always playing tricks
any time he had the chance
I WAS ONLY JUST A BOY, DIDN'T KNOW IF I COULD SWIM
DIDN'T KNOW IF I COULD FLY, IF I HAD THE STRENGTH WITHIN
HEART AND SOUL KEPT MY CHIN JUST ABOVE THE WATER LINE
KEEP ME DRIFTING OFF IN SPACE, KEPT ME DRIFTING OFF IN TIME
i was running from the bear
to the ladder on the wall
when the bear was just a cub
the grey wolf was not so small
he came lungeing at my feet
growling, baring canine teeth
i could barley climb the air
never thought i'd see him there
CHORUS
Bridge:
DON'T SAY THERE'S NO WAY OUT
HOLD YOUR HEAD ABOVE THE WAVES
CHORUS
every moment has its place
temporarily in space
i was once a bonafide
drifter, drifitng off in time
when i drifted off the grid
i could see my shadow dance
he was always playing tricks
any time he had the chance
