Drifting Away

My mind is at play
Thoughts drifting away
I am neither here nor there
I am elsewhere

I am thinking of distant lands
Beautiful oceans & golden sands
Martini’s & cigarettes 
Sunsets & no regrets

My heart is filled with happiness
Sunlight instead of darkness
All my problems have gone
This is where I belong

Music fills the air
I am without a care
Here I am free
Free to be me
