Drifting Away by Lori Yamamoto

from The Crime Of The Century Podcast · host Matt Love

[Verse 1] In the big bank of clouds, I think I am lost You are drifting away, like the white winter frost When the air was more cold, I could see where you stay Your breath was a wisp, but the heat took it away [Verse 2] Now the air is too moist, and the damp is so thick The sun makes a trick that makes my heart feel quite sick You are invisible now, like a ghost in the light Reality is changing from the morning to night [Pre-Chorus] The leaves are all firing, turning to red I remember the things that the summer once said The sun goes down low in the flat middle-west The sky is bruised and bleeding, looking for rest [Chorus] Please be kind to me... I do not know the word, Please be gentle to me... Will you remember "me"? Will you remember "we"? The sky is crying and I am small Please be kind to me, after all [Outro] I look up at the clouds... Lost in my thoughts I hear whispers of you... But the summer is too loud.
