DRIFT AWAY – EP
TRACK 1 : DRIFT AWAY
Looking out across the bay,
The sun is shining on this hazy summers day
Feel the warmth of the waves lapping at my feet
Hear the sound of the children having fun up on the street
Further out across the beach
See the buoys watching over the boats anchored up as they sleep
Mayrose and Pipsey pirouette just off the sand
Dancing so closely they take each others hands
And they’ll raise their sail and they’ll drift away
Dream of the adventures that may come their way
With the wind behind them they’ll make good speed
One day the ocean will set them free
Looking back along the shore,
Feel the weight of the harbour walls calling back once more
Beneath the waves the strong undertow,
Calling us back to the lives that we know
And they’ll raise their sail and they’ll drift away
Dream of the adventures that may come their way
With the wind behind them they’ll make good speed
One day the ocean will set them free
Looking out across the bay,
the sun is setting on this hazy summers day
Feel the cool waves lapping at my feet
No sounds of children having fun up on the street
So We’ll raise our sail and we’ll drift away
Begin the adventures that may come our way
With the wind behind us we’ll make good speed
Today day the ocean has set us free
TRACK 2 : where did the time go
You came into this world born a mothers son
Look into your eyes your life has just begun
With your smallest breath you let out a new-born cry
Standing here with tears of joy in our eyes
The early years were not kind to you at all
Without that someone to catch you when you fall
A different town each day, a doorway for your bed
Searching for a safer place to lay your head
Where did the time go, all those days and nights alone
What did you do with your life?
Where did the time go there’s so much more for you to know
And I miss you now, I miss you now.
As the years go by we help you all we can
On your journey to become a better man
But this selfish world it finally takes its toll
With this cruel cold winter taking your soul
Where did the time go, all those days and nights alone
What did you do with your life?
Where did the time go there’s so much more for you to know
And I miss you now
Where did the time go, there’s no more days and nights alone
What did you do with your life?
Where did the time go there’s so much more for you to know
And I miss you now…..
TRACK 3 : MONDAY
Monday morning comes around
I’ve got to shake of this HEAVY drunken from
and the 40 units from the night before
delivery driver slams the gate
alexa says it’s just gone 8
world leaders embark on another twitter war
And we’re blindly going forwards
never think on what we’ve done
Let’s not forget about tomorrow
Cause change is yet to come
Media outlets keep up their beat
Thousands more living out on the streets
As market rates fall through the floor
Highs street shops are closing Down
Build a cinema at the edge of town
More food banks for the working poor
And we’re blindly going forwards
Never think on what we’ve done
Let’s not forget about tomorrow
cause change is yet to come
Think about the days gone by
wasted moments flying high
let’s go outside fill our lungs with tar
come back get a round of drinks at the bar…the Bar!
Na na na, na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na, na na na
Na na na na na na nahhhhhhhh
Na na na, na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na, na na na
Na na na na na na nahhhhhhhh
Monday morning comes around
I’ve got to shake of this HEAVY drunken from
and the 40 units from the night before
delivery driver slams the gate
alexa says it’s just gone 8
and we carry on regardless like before
And we’re blindly going forwards
never think on what we’ve done
Let’s not forget about tomorrow
Cause change is yet to come
