Lyrics

The Driftless

Gales are blowing
Storm Barbara is showing
What she can do
And I ache for you

Wild is the wind
As it starts to begin
And I ache for you

I ache for you
I ache for you
I ache for you

Sleep started calling
I oblige
There’s still space beside me
Still a fire
Swim through the driftless
As I lay here

We don’t belong there
Swim through the driftless

I’ll wait for you
And wake to you
I’d hate to lose you
I ache for you
I ache for you

Barbara’s still going
The drinks overthrowing
My will to move
No harm ensues

The day has arrived
And you’re not by my side
And I ache for you

I ache for you
I ache for you
I ache for you

Sleep started calling
I obliged
There’s still space beside me
Still a fire
Swim through the driftless
As I lay here

We don’t belong there
Swim through the driftless

I’ll wait for you
And wake to you
I’d hate to lose you
I ache for you
I ache for you
