Píseň: Drift Away

Interpret:
Roy Orbison
Album:
Milestones
Day after day I'm more confused 
 So I look for the light in the pouring rain 
 You know that's a game that I hate to lose 
 I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame 


 Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul 
 I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away 
 Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul 
 I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away 


 Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time 
 I don't understand the things I do 
 The world outside looks so unkind 
 I'm countin' on you to carry me through 


 And when my mind is free 
 You know a melody can move me 
 And when I'm feelin' blue 
 The guitar's comin' through to soothe me 
 Thanks for the joy that you've given me 
 I want you to know I believe in your song 
 Rhythm and rhyme and harmony 
 You help me along makin' me strong
