Like I’m Lonely/Driftwood Lyrics by The People Versus

Ground Opening

2019

Were you your mother’s only child?
Sat and watched the clock tick over the fire
Cooped up and longing for the stars
Too fearful in the dark?
Well now you're weighing down these trees
The silver lights above you unaffected by the breeze
You catch your mud between your toes
For God’s sakes darling, do they know?
Well I am only restless at night
Like I’m in love, like I’m lonely
Were you holding on for someone new
Hoping one day they’ll be needing you?
And you’re not, you’re not awake
Just suspended, a shelf, a keepsake
Were you your mother’s second child?
Under the water never tired
Outside and longing for the cold
Like newer love is spirit bold?
Well I am only restless at night
Like I’m in love, like I’m lonely
Well I am only restless at night
Like I’m in love, like I’m lonely
Well I am only restless at night, night, night
Sails a-full of airy spirit and gentle hands that glow within it
And cast asunder, O, my beautiful wonder!
And you would do anything for me
You would do anything for me
That I ask for, that I ask for
You would do anything for me, Beauty shining!
Bring me another man for my island
Maybe without you I’m as good as driftwood
Spat upon the beaches sitting rotted and alone?
Maybe without you I’m as good as driftwood
A sailor boy’s salvation, a shipwreck’s journey home?
Sails a full of airy sprit, my God dear God can you hear it?
The winds a changing, ye-hey from the pine I did let thee
Well you would you anything for me, beauty shining
My dearest home Milan, escape from my island
Maybe without you I’m as good as driftwood
Spat upon the beaches sitting rotted and alone?
Maybe without you I’m as good as driftwood
A sailor boy’s salvation, a shipwreck’s journey home?
Maybe without you I’m as good as driftwood
