Next Time You're Driftin My Way

G D G
Next time you're driftin my way,
C G
land on me like a butterfly.
G D G
Dig your toes into my sand.
C G
So many times the days go by
D
and night falls into my empty hands.

Next time you catch my eye,
G D
touch me like the angel healed the lamb.

Next time you're driftin my way,
dance with me like the fire flies.
Wash your wings, I'll lend a hand.
Once they dry, I'll watch you rise
and I'll understand. I'll watch you fill the skies.
Might even make it up to you in the end.

Once I caught the wind inside a jar.
I put the lid on so it couldn't get out.
But then I couldn't see it. Couldn't feel it.
I didn't know. Had to let it go so there was no doubt.
Now, the moment it slips from my embrace,
I look for you in the crowd
but I'm sure you'll just be a cloud
the next time you're driftin my way.
