Lyrics
I'm just driftwood on the river floating down the tide
I feel like I am aimlessly drifting along the river, going with the flow.
I don't care where this old river carries me
I am indifferent to where this river takes me; I have no specific destination in mind.
I'll keep drifting just because my heart is broken inside
My heart is broken, and I continue drifting without a clear purpose.
And I'm tired of wishing for what cannot be
I am tired of hoping for things that are impossible or cannot be realized.
I may meet some little driftwood lost as same as I
I might encounter others who are also lost and drifting like me.
Share a handshake and a tender tear or two
We may share a brief connection, expressing sympathy through a handshake and tears.
But it's always good luck how we've got to say goodbye
Parting ways is inevitable, and it's considered fortunate to have met, even briefly.
I must wander on to keep my randezvous
I must continue my journey to keep my appointed meeting or commitment.
Though I drift through town and city I can never stay
Although I pass through different places, I cannot find a permanent home.
For I find no place to call my home sweet home
I don't seek help or pity; I prefer to go my own way.
I don't ask for help or pitty I'll just go my way
All I desire is peace to be alone with my thoughts.
All I'm praying for is peace to dream alone
I am just a drifting soul on the river, moving forward.
I'm just driftwood on the river and I'm drifting on
My journey continues until the river meets the deep blue sea.
Till this weary river meets the deep blue sea
At that point, the meeting with the vast sea may bring relief.
Where the deep blue sea may help me to forget someone
Perhaps the sea can help me forget someone who has hurt me.
Yes the careless one who has forgotten me
The person I want to forget is careless and has abandoned me.
In my heart I don't feel bitter over what has been
Despite my experiences, I don't harbor bitterness in my heart.
I feel sorry for the one I must forget
Instead, I feel empathy for the person I need to erase from my memories.
And instead of being someone with the world to win
Rather than being someone successful, I find myself adrift with regrets.
I'm just driftwood on the river of regret
I am like driftwood on the river, carried along by the currents of regret.
