Drifting Away

Living for limelight, scared of the solitude
Looking for loneliness and scared of the crowds we need
We’re not impressed with the fireworks
We’re looking for Lucy’s spiders in the sky
And we’re broken down
How could I really expect you to stay
When even the moon’s slowly drifting away?
Drifting away
The jigsaw’s complete with pieces remaining
Bent down and worn out and no longer fitting
We didn’t lose faith, the road rose up and took it
And we’re broken down
I forgot what to sing, you forgot what to say
And even the moon’s slowly drifting away
Drifting away…
We melted down the medals when the game went to our heads
We fired the philosophers and went back to our beds
We’re looking for stars on an overcast day
And even the moon’s slowly drifting away
Drifting away…
