I don't believe in miracles if it's all the same by you.
Your wishes would come true if I had my say.
Whether it's right or wrong, the words of every song
remind us of a love we knew where love should not go wrong in yesterday.
Hang on, ye drifters, now you got so much to go and gamble on.
Watch out for the shifting sand wherever you may ramble.

Even now as I look back and see all that's come to pass, I can't remember how it was I got here.
Look around this place, there's a smile on every face.
We're somewhere in the afterglow out there among the stars, out there among the bars.
Hang on, ye drifters, now you got places to go and people to meet.
Watch out for the shifting tide wherever you may travel.

I know I should not complain because life's been good to me,
it feels real good to be stranded on my own.
Be that as it may, we are what we are.
I'll find you in the afterglow out there among the stars of yesteryear.
Hang on, ye drifters, now you got so much to go and gamble on.
Watch out for the shifting sand wherever you may ramble.

All you drifters, now you got places to go and people to meet.
Watch out for the shifting tide wherever you may travel.
