Driftin' all through the night,
Been thinking about our love,
Not sure why we never get it right.
I've been driftin', baby,
Driftin' for oh so long,
They say there's thirteen steps to surrender,
Sweetheart, I'm just not that strong.
I've been driftin', baby,
Driftin' wide and far,
When you say you want to live with me forever,
It's like you're wishin' on a shooting star.
I've been driftin', baby,
Driftin' over stormy seas,
You tell me I need to take a look at the future,
But, sugah, I can't see the forest for the trees.
I've been driftin', baby,
Driftin' east and west,
Don't want to break your heart,
But, honey, it's what I seem to do the very best.

Time, experience, and age sure has a way of helping us relate. A dose of reality too. Ah, the drifters blues ..... :)
ReplyDeleteYes, well, with all the snow flying here today, it's a good day for the blues ... brrrr ... ;o}
DeleteI was going to say, we need to find you an anchor, but after reading the comments I don't think that will help the snow drifts :P
ReplyDeleteHaha ... noooo ... send snow plows ... ;o}
DeleteGreat conclusion but I'm not sure that's only thing which you do very best ;)
ReplyDeleteWell, there may be one or two other things ... ;o}
DeleteAre you wearing your mittens today? Great Clapton tune ...
ReplyDeleteYes, this kitten has gots his mittens ...
DeleteThank you for adding the "Lyrics" box ... it's great!
DeleteI love these last couple of poems, your inspiration is running hot, despite your snowy weather.
ReplyDeleteThanks, but to be honest, I call these my "simpler" poems, because I write them in a single breath ... quickly and without much editing. Sometimes, that's probably the best way. ;o}
DeleteWhen I read poems like this, I kind of worry that you shall fall into that hole of misery and pain all of your followers so well remember.
ReplyDeleteHmm ... interesting observation ... but not to worry, I am fine and in a great place in my life right now. Sometimes, as you probably know, I dance with the darkness, but that's just my poetic posture and not always a true read of what I'm feeling at the moment. :o}
