THE DRIFTER
(David Poe)
@2000 Charming Marry Music/BMI.

You took me like a drifter takes a friend
I’ll never be that honest again
And when it seems like nothing’s gonna change
Then your world comes crashing down

Friends accommodate your darker phase
Then you find it’s been 100 days
When’s the last time your remember feeling safe
You’re surrounded by assassins in this place, uh-huh
But you wanted to be here and I’m amazed

If I appear in every story that you tell, that you tell
How can you say that I don’t know you well
Wasn’t I the one who caught you when you fell, when you fell
How can you say that I don’t treat you well
When I’m ringing out your name like a bell, like a bell
How can you say that I don’t wish you well
I wish you well

Get that lonely feeling at the door
Even though you left this place before
‘Cause the truth is you won’t care anymore
Then your world comes crashing down again

If I appear in every story that you tell, that you tell
How can you say that I don’t know you well
Wasn’t I the one who caught you when you fell, when you fell
How can you say that I don’t treat you well
When I’m ringing out your name like a bell, like a bell
How can you say that I don’t wish you well
I wish you well
