Drifting through the raindrops
I wake up at midnight
To the sound of a summer storm,
The breeze upon my face
Feels so gentle and so warm.
Then I'm looking down on
An endless , clear mountain stream . . .
Drifting through the raindrops in a dream.
There were books I had read,
High upon a distant shelf;
Written by family
Though there's nothing of myself.
Words paint the histories,
Yet I'm far from ev'ry scene . . .
Drifting through the raindrops in a dream.
The last song echoes soft,
From a long abandoned stage;
Voices are now silenced,
They'd come from another age.
Still I have heard their words
Which came gently and serene . . .
Drifting through the raindrops in a dream.
Waves lap at the shorelines,
Washing footprints from the sand;
Lighthouses on the hills
Are no longer being manned.
Underneath the moonlight
Sailing ships can still be seen . . .
Drifting through the raindrops in a dream.
Round and round in circles
Going back to where I've been,
Caught reliving my life
Over and over again.
I'm forever searching
For whatever all this means . . .
As I drift through the raindrops in my dreams.
