Track 3 from The Driftwood Project, a five-track EP released one track at a time throughout 2021

lyrics

Spending all our money on penny sweets
And living only for today
I’m sure we’ve been here since but the wallpaper was different
A darker shade of blue
When all we’d need to know
Was how to grow a driftwood tree
And live easy and be free

Crossing borders all through the night on board a sleeper
With no time at which to arrive
The engine’s down and it might be hours before they’ll fix it
But anyway we’ll be
In some new place tomorrow
Which is why we came to be
In this place at least to see

Strolling home in the early hours of a tomorrow
And meanwhile swaying to and fro
The ghostly calm of a dense built street that lies this empty
As the city draws its breath
When all we’d need
All we’d need to know
Was how to plant a driftwood tree
Sit back and watch it grow

All that’s real and means a thing is what surrounds me now
Those most precious moments were the ones where this I’ve found
All that’s real and means a thing is what surrounds me now
Those most precious moments were the ones where this I’ve found
