Drifting Away Lyrics

Judy Collins & Ari Hest Drifting Away

[Verse 1]
Out on a blue southern ocean
I am humbled looking skyward
Beholden to the current
Floating on a gentle summer wave
Dreaming the day, drifting away

[Verse 2]
Nothing to do but do nothing
In the stillness of the moment
In the kindness of the sun
Just to be, the only thing I crave
Dreaming the day, drifting away

[Verse 3]
It's been a long lonely winter
Though my body had recoiled
I'm now opened by the water
Renewed with a purpose
To return to you the love that you gave
Embracing the day, drifting away

[Verse 4]
There is a cloud hanging over
But I am looking past her
Though she is majestic
To the endless sky above
I've finally found the courage to be brave
Dreaming the day, drifting away
