lyrics

Drifting too far from shore 
Well she jumped ship and she left me
I never seen her face no more
Drifting too far from shore 

I’m bored when I’m sober
I’m bored when I’m high
I’m bored with all this boredom
Bored with reasons why
Everything lately bores me
I guess baby I’m a bore
Drifting too far from shore

I had myself a lover
I loved her thru and thru
But I looked that gift horse in the mouth
And I turned it all to glue
Started seeing shadows
Doubting everything I saw
Drifting too far from shore

I’ve lost that spark of passion
I always used to have
Don’t know where it’s gone to
or if it’s ever coming back
Can’t find no direction
Tell me what’s the reason for 
Drifting too far from shore

Everyday it seems like I’m losing ground You know I’m losing touch
I tell myself to try to care
Maybe I try too much
Well she gave me all she had to give
Baby everything and more
But I was drifting too far from shore

Now a fog is rolling in
Thicker than the night
I’m bobbing on a blackness out of range and out of sight
Feel such alienation I’ve never felt before
Drifting too far from shore
