Yes, you're drifting in open space
Ain't you have no sense, babe
Of the time and place
No one to lead you but
To the open gates of your dreams, oh, boy.

While you are sifting through the planet's orb
And you stumble, stumble on forgotten gold
Yesterday's memories quickly entwine
Series of growing pains.

But you care too much
I said about things lost
All that operates, baby
All things enforced
At the basic human race
Don't let it get you down
Don't take up anything
Don't you leave my town.

While you are sifting through the planet's orb
And you stumble, stumble on forgotten gold
Yesterday's memories quickly entwine
Series of growing pains.

Yes, you're drifting in open space
Ain't you have no sense, babe
Of the time and place
No one to lead you but
To the open gates of your dreams, oh, boy.

While you're sifting through the planet's orb
And you stumble, stumble on forgotten gold
Yesterday's memories quickly entwine
Don't you see me, babe, oh, I'm drifting by, by
Friendly persuasion eclipsing the moment
That's to remember with heart-beating joy
Yesterdays are memories, they're hanging on to me
Severely, merrily playing a song
