Drift Away Lyrics by Bob Stillman, Christine Ebersole

Grey Gardens Original Broadway Cast Recording

2007

[GOULD]
Understand kid
It's been just grand kid
The cocktails, the cufflinks, the fun
Remember me
When you're singing "Tea For One"
[EDITH, spoken]
If you're gone, who will I even talk to?
[GOULD, spoken]
Yourself, the occasional cat…
[EDITH, spoken]
That's not funny
[GOULD]
After I'm gone
When the ocean's haze blankets the grounds in grey
Drift away, on the tide, drift away
When you’re alone
And the twilight's glow shimmers across the bay
Drift away, on a wave, drift away
Our tête-à-têtes
[EDITH]
Midnight duets
[EDITH & GOULD]
Our breakfast tea and toast
[GOULD]
Funny how things that mean thе least
Are what we miss thе most
Deep in the night
When the whispering breeze sings this song I play
Shed a tear and be glad
For the fun that we had
Drift away, on a dream, drift away
[EDITH, spoken]
You're my soulmate, that's what you are
[GOULD, spoken]
Soulmate, is that the nom de jour?
[EDITH, spoken]
I have no idea what you mean
[GOULD, spoken]
For the party this afternoon, which would you prefer?
Should I wear the white satin jacket you bought for me at Bergdorf's
Or the linen one you picked up in Rome?
[EDITH, spoken]
Now, Gould… Gould
