Lyrics
like a rain doesn't wanna stop
as my girlfriend's gone to leave me
drift'n like leaf come down
fly'n down my way to home
never found some way astray
i'm coming back to where i need to be
find somebody i call a friend
ooohoo
ooohoo
watch'n everyday come down
as i lose my way around
got laid off not so quickly
boss said i'm gonna have ta let you go
drift'n like a leaf in the wind
find some how to make believe
not a friend in sight for me
watch'n everything come down
watch'n everything drift down
not so different than a leaf
drift'n down like rain upon the day
drift'n down into the alleyway
gotta find some way today
find a way out of this hole
how did i end up here
got into a fight my friend
lost my money to a gambl'n man
it's no good oh my friend
can i stay the night with you my friend
i'll make my music baby
come alone with me my friend -

Lyrics:
-
from all my chains i don't believe
to break down all my fears
to hold me from my chains of grey
a little slavery, a little painful
in my crazy world baby
baby take me higher love,
i don't know to be free
baby take me higher love,
please hold me so closely
baby take me higher love,
i don't know to be free
every way they try to let me go
now please baby
as if my only way out was to
forget me
so if i'm two ways, i know;
so crazy little bleeding people down
baby take me higher please,
don't hold me down those days
so baby take me higher love,
i ran through my oldest dreams
baby take me higher please,
i ran away from all my dreams
every day i lose a little bit of my
sanity
as i lost my job and i found something
little deeper inside
a crazy thing called meaning my friend
to worry me from all my dreams
baby take me higher love,
i just don't know to be free
baby take me higher love,
i lost it all to you my friend
baby take me higher love,
it's the only thing keep me going at night
baby take me higher love,
i ran away from all my dreams
losing everything not so easy
for me to see
to believe in something little
more than what i have
a little bit of love just might
hold me safely
but you see my fragile life has
come to an end
