Just like the driftwood of a dream Left on the seashore of sleep Just like the words that wouldn't rhyme Lost in the desert of time Time waits for no one at all No, not even you You thought you'd seen it all before You really thought you knew I don't remember what was said In the confusion that night I only know what's on my mind What's in the future we will decide Time waits for no one at all No, not even you You thought you'd seen it all before You really thought you knew I've shattered the illusion Of fortune and of fame But darling, now I know you Life could never be the same Oh no, don't leave me driftwood On the shore Time waits for no one, my love No, not even you You thought you'd seen it all before You really thought you knew I've shattered the illusion Of fortune and of fame I'm waking up I'm reaching up I'm getting up from this game Oh no, don't leave me driftwood On the shore No, don't, don't leave me driftwood On the shore
