Drifting- Away - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
DRIFTING- AWAY. Words by Dexter Smith. Music by Geo. Dana. 
Drifting away, drifting away, Upon life's changeful ocean; "With peace and sunshine sweet to-day, To-morrow wild commotion; Drifting, drifting, drifting away, Drifting, drifting, drifting away. 
Drifting away, drifting away, Each hour the shore receding; While on the beach the breakers play, No mortal sorrows heeding; Drifting, drifting, drifting away, Drifting, drifting, drifting away. 
Drifting away, drifting away, While love and friendship cheer us; And hope's bright flowers will ne'er decay, For God is ever near us; Drifting, drifting, drifting away, Drifting, drifting, drifting away.
