Musical Drifter

[V1]
Winter is fast approaching
Bringing in snow from the north
Think I'll pick up and dust off this old guitar
Hear the memories it can spring forth

[CH]
Musical drifter
Sharing a song and a smile
Strumming out presents
For everyone's ear
Just to leave again after a while
Musical drifter

[V2]
Footsteps fade on the frozen ground
But echoes still dance in the air
A melody hummed in a small café
Lingers like perfume there

[CH]
Musical drifter
Notes like footprints in sand
Never quite rooted
But always at ease
With a tune and a heart in hand
Musical drifter

[BR]
He’s a whisper in the canyon
A shadow on the stage
A story partly written
On a dusty, weathered page
He won’t stay long
But he’ll leave you changed

[V3]
Spring comes to thaw the silence
And someone will hum his refrain
A child with a dream
and a secondhand song
Will carry his spirit again

[CH]
Musical drifter
His memory is never gone
In the hush of the night
Or the break of the day
His melody will carry on
Musical drifter


Peace,

Dave
