Justin Hayward)

Just like the driftwood of a dream,
Left on the seashore of sleep
Just like the words that wouldn't rhyme,
Lost in the desert of time
Time waits for no one at all,
No, not even you
You thought you'd seen it all before,
You really thought you knew

I don't remember what was said,
In the confusion that night
I only know what's on my mind,
What's in the future we will decide
Time waits for no one at all,
No, not even you
You thought you'd seen it all before,
You really thought you knew

I've shattered the illusion, Here I am,
Of fortune and of fame Staring out to sea
But darling now I know you, Wondering if you'll
Life can never be the same Ever come back to me
Oh no, don't leave me driftwood,
On the shore

Time waits for no one my love,
No, not even you
You thought you'd seen it all before,
You really thought you knew

I've shattered the illusion, Here I am,
Of fortune and of fame Staring out to sea
I'm waking up, I'm reaching up, Waking up, reaching up,
I'm getting up from this game Come back to me
Oh no, don't leave me driftwood,
On the shore
Oh, no don't, don't leave me driftwood,
On the shore
Whoa, no, don't leave me driftwood,
On the shore
