Drifting And Dreaming

DRIFTING AND DREAMING

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

2017

DRIFTING DOWN THE RIVER, IN GOLDEN SUN

WHEAT FIELDS PASS ME BY 

AS EAGLES FLY ON A MORNING SKY

I HUNKER DOWN CLOSE MY EYES 

AND LET THE RIVER TAKE ME WHERE IT GOES

AS I LIE HERE DRIFTING AND DREAMING

BENEATH A SUMMER SKY

NOT A SINGLE WORRY, NOT A SINGLE SOUL

NOT IN A HURRY TO GO

BURIED IN LONG SUMMER DAYS 

THE HOURS JUST SEEM TO DRIFT AWAY

FIND ME HIDING IN BETWEEN

SOME KIND OF BEAUTIFUL DREAM

PADDLING UNSEEN BENEATH THE OVERHANGING TREES

GLIDING SILENTLY LIGHTLY TOUCHED BY A BREEZE

FOLLOWED BY, OPEN SKY,LAND WIDE OPEN AND DRY

I STEER MY BOAT FOR THE BANK BY SOME TREES

I'M INSTANTLY FLOODED WITH MEMORIES

I KNOW THIS PLACE WELL

I SET A CAMP AND HAVE SOME TEA

AS THE SUN FALLS BEHIND THE HILLS

I KNOW I'M FREE

THE SKY TURNS OUT TO BE

FILLED WITH STARS

I SIT BY THE FIRE WRAPPED IN AWE

THE COYOTES CALL

THERE'S NO OTHER SOUND AT ALL

PEACE LIKE HEAVEN, DESOLATION, ALL ALONE

IN THIS BIG LAND

RIGHT HERE WHERE I AM, WHERE I STAND

SET ME FREE AGAIN

HEAD OF THE LINE, WHAT COMES NEXT

GIVE ME A CALL OR SEND ME A TEXT

THE PEACE HERE SEEPS INTO YOUR SOUL

HOLDS ON TIGHT, IT WON'T LET GO

ALL TOO EASY WE LOSE CONTROL

SOMETIMES WE JUST NEED A PLACE LIKE THIS

THAT WE CAN GO

WHERE QUIET LENDS ITSELF TO WORK THINGS OUT

OR TO MAKE YOU FORGET, THERE IS NEVER A DOUBT

DRIFTING DOWN THE RIVER

IN THE GOLDEN SUN

SOMETHING THAT JUST HAS TO BE DONE

DRIFTING AND DREAMING

BENEATH A SUMMER SKY

NO WORRIES NOT A SINGLE SOUL

THERE'S NO HURRY TO GO
