Driftwood Lyrics

Jimmy Webb Driftwood

Driftwood
In its voyage
Steered by stars
Blown by wind
Through rainfall
Close ashore
Through the spray
Swept away
To the coastline
Tossed and torn
Thrown high
And falls to rest
Oh, like people
Baby like you and I

We're driftwood
On the sands
Of our lives
We're lately arrived
And we're waiting
For the storm
And the wind
To take us again
From the harbor
To the reef
Driven hard
Wild and free
Like you and I
Like driftwood blown back to the sea
Like driftwood blown back to the sea
Like driftwood blown back to the sea
