Drifting Along With The Tide 1921 Gershwin

Life is an ocean
restless and wide,
always in motion
endless its tide.
We are ships that plod our way,
On life's uncertain sea,
I've been helpless since the day,
you drifted away from me.

I'm drifting along with the tide,
I've gone astray;
My day is through,
and so I'm just
drifting along with the tide,
I lost my way,
when I lost you,
My boat so frail,
tossed by a stormy sea,
Is forced to sail,
anywhere Fates decree
the winds shall carry me,
and so on with the tide
I'll go drifting,
Until we meet again.

I'm drifting along with the tide,
I've gone astray;
My day is through,
and so I'm just
drifting along with the tide,
I lost my way,
when I lost you,
My boat so frail,
tossed by a stormy sea,
Is forced to sail,
anywhere Fates decree
the winds shall carry me,
and so on with the tide
I'll go drifting,
Until we meet again.
