The San Sebastian Strings
While Drifting
This is the way it wasWhile I was waiting for your eyes to find meI was drifting, going no placeHypnotized by sunshine maybeBarking back at seagulls along the beachSkipping flat stones on the water,But much too wise for sandcastlesMy castles were across the seaStill within my mindThere were the beach barsand the other beach peopleSometimes little bedrooms were my beachBut I was drifting.I must have thought the night could save meAs I went down in the pillows,Looked up through dirty windows,Smiled back through broken mattresses,and kissed in elevators.I cry too sometimes for me I guessI loved every face I thought looked prettyand every kindred eye I caught in crowds.But I was driftingBefore you.
