I'm just driftwood on the river floating down the tide   I don't care where this old river carries me   I keep drifting just because my heart is broken inside   And I'm tired of wishing for what cannot be   [ steel ]   I'm just driftwood on the river and I'm drifting on   Till this weary river meets the deep blue sea   Where the deep blue sea may help me to forget someone   Yes the careless one who has forgotten me   [ steel ]   In my heart I don't feel bitter over what has been   I feel sorry for the one I can't forget   And instead of being someone with the world to win   I'm just driftwood on the river of regret
