Mark McAdam - Driftwood (Paper Man Version) Lyrics
So I’m sure that we will recognize our landmark soonWanderlust has lost its shineIt’s left me cold and we’re running out of timeAs we wonder how much longer we can keep our cars in tuneAnd I only know that I’ll never be the boy wonderYeah, I only know that I’ll never be the boy wonderIt’s too late for that sort of thing nowMaybe I’ll just cut my lossesIn this city that is how we say surrenderDriftwood finds its way to sandAnd they’re wondering if they’ll somehow see a grandson soonFriends like flies drawn to the lightIn ellipses twice as vicous as the times seem cruelAnd I only know that I’ll never be the boy wonderYeah, I only know that I’ll never be the boy wonderIt’s too late for that sort of thing nowMaybe I’ll just cut my lossesIn this city that is how we say surrenderNow if I can carried away I’ll get plowed underSo I can’t forget that I’ll never be the boy wonderI’m too grayAnd I’m too beat downI could just come to my sense then retire to some small townAnd just surrenderDrifwood finds it’s way sandSo I’m sure that we will recognize our landmark soon
