Bob Dylan
Driftin’ Too Far from Shore
[Verse 1]
I didn’t know that you’d be leaving’
Or who you thought you were talking’ to
I figure maybe we’re even
Or maybe I’m one up on you

[Verse 2]
I send you all my money
Just like I did before
I tried to reach you honey
But you’re drifting too far from shore

[Chorus]
Drifting too far from shore
Drifting too far from shore
Drifting too far from shore
Drifting too far from shore

[Verse 3]
I ain’t gonna get lost in this current
I don’t like playing cat and mouse
No gentleman likes making love to a servant
Especially when he’s in his father’s house

[Verse 4]
I never could guess your weight, baby
Never needed to call you my whore
I always thought you were straight, baby
But you’re drifting too far from shore
[Chorus]

[Verse 5]
Well these times and these tunnels are haunted
The bottom of the barrel is too
I waited years sometimes for what I wanted
Everybody can’t be as lucky as you

[Verse 6]
Never no more do I wonder
Why you don’t never play with me anymore
At any moment you could go under
’Cause you’re drifting too far from shore

[Chorus]

[Verse 7]
You and me we had completeness
I give you all of what I could provide
We weren’t on the wrong side, sweetness
We were the wrong side

[Verse 8]
I’ve already ripped out the phones, honey
You can’t walk the streets in a war
I can finish this alone honey
You’re drifting too far from shore
