Started slow, but awful sudden
I'm nothing I have been before
Girl, you glow-offer me water
And let me in-how sweet of you to know
How I prefer to float
This crash will fade out
Another wave follows
And we can wait out
The flood in your kitchen
Get a picture of this one
As the record spins 'round
Time plays on
Humor me gently
Pressure's gone
Now that you're with me
And the tune is kind
It moves us slowly
And we unwind
Drift with the leaves
So settle into your parents' shoes
Even the who's who get married to it
And the myth finds legs on the back of every year
But no tears for me baby
Just had to stay near it
You won't miss me like you think
If you could sit with anyone
If you could choose the world you see
If you could dance to any song
If you could, would you care to drift with me?
And if you must lay it on
Lay it on me baby
And if you must lay it on
Lay it on gently
Drift with the leaves
