    Story Behind the Song
    The lyrics for this song were written by our friend Wilson MacDonald. It is a song about a street person, and the thoughts, feelings and sights this person experiences. The music for this song was written by both of us one evening at Rex's house and is our first collaboration together.

    Lyrics
    Well it just seems to me
    that it really should'nt be
    I'm out on the line
    My dreamd are bad, my hopes' have gone sad
    inside of my mind

    (CHORUS)I look to the skies and to the old and wise
    No future for me I'm surrounded by lies

    The sound of the train fades in the rain
    I wish that I was home
    No one to live for, to fight or to give for
    I'm all alone
    Drifting away, but the bottle must stay
    the nights are cold
    Poor excuse for a man who eats from a can
    I'm searchin' for gold

    I look to the skies and to the old and wise
    No future for me I'm surrounded by lies

    You can't believe who you meet
    when you're sleeping in the street
    with a bottle of booze and nothing to lose
    you can't believe who you meet

    (REPEAT 1st VERSE)- CHORUS

    You can't believe who you meet
    when you're sleeping in the street
    with a bottle of booze and nothing to lose
    you can't believe who you meet
    You know hard times come their way
    when they beg in the streets all day
    with holes in their shoes and a bottle of
    booze and nothing to loose you can't
    believe who you meet
    I'm drifting away
    I'm just drifting away
    I'm drifting away, I'm drifting away
