Just like the driftwood of a dream
Left on the seashore of sleep
Just like the words that wouldn't rhyme
Lost in the desert of time

Time waits for no one at all
No, not even you
You thought you'd seen it all before
You really thought you knew

I don't remember what was said
In the confusion that night
I only know what's on my mind
What's in the future we will decide

Time waits for no one at all
No, not even you
You thought you'd seen it all before
You really thought you knew

I've shattered the illusion
Of fortune and of fame
But darling, now I know you
Life could never be the same

Oh no, don't leave me driftwood
On the shore

Time waits for no one, my love
No, not even you
You thought you'd seen it all before
You really thought you knew

I've shattered the illusion
Of fortune and of fame
I'm waking up
I'm reaching up
I'm getting up from this game

Oh no, don't leave me driftwood
On the shore
No, don't, don't leave me driftwood
On the shore
