Driftwood Lyrics

I tried to be your angel and I tried to be so nice
but the only thing you gave me took me by surprise
one way leads to diamonds and one way leads to me
I wonder if you know which way will make you free

lock the world outside my door
I don't need it anymore
make it all just go away
until all black days turn to grey

I'm a piece of driftwood floating in my dreams
trying to get hold, trying to get real
it's hard to write a poem when love begins to fade
I'm begging you to come back and help me to crusade

I can't take my eyes off you
I still need that perfect view
you're my only vivid scene
in a world of jaded sin
jaded sin

and your love is a dangerous weapon
it's above every science or Zen
I am lost in your painful patience
I'm too weak to conduct my own defence

you left me here with nothing in a desert without you
love's more than a mood when it's gone you'll see it's true
love is touching souls and surely you touched mine
sometimes you taste bitter and sometimes you taste fine

lock the world outside my door
I don't need it anymore
make it all just go away
until all black days turn into grey
turn into grey

and your love is a dangerous weapon
it's above every science or Zen
I am lost in your painful patience
I'm too weak to conduct my own defence

got my heart set on winning you
got my heart set on winning you

and your love is a dangerous weapon
it's above every science or Zen
I am lost in your painful patience
I'm too weak to conduct my own defence

I tried to be your angel and I tried to be so nice
but the only thing you gave me took me by surprise...
