Meantime Lyrics by Eddi Reader

Driftwood

0

In the meantime how about this
It’s not your face that I can see
When I close my eyes to kiss

In the meantime I thought you should know
If it wasn’t for the roof over my head
I’d have no reason not to go

When your ship is going down
You cling on to driftwood
When your ship is going down
You cling on to driftwood

There was another time, I remember the day
You came home and found me crying
You closed the door and slipped away

When your ship is going down
You cling on to driftwood
When your ship is going down
You cling on to driftwood

In the meantime here’s some truth
If I’m not wrong then all along
You felt the same way too

When your ship is going down
You cling on to driftwood
When your ship is going down
You cling on to driftwood

When your ship is going down
Cling on to driftwood
When your ship is going down
Cling on to driftwood
