When there's wine in your belly

Love rhythm's on your tongue

For you are a woman

And each man has been too young

But for me you were a lover

Gently under your cover

Your sheet reeks of others

Oh, I came here to hold and be held for a while

I've been drifting like a dream out on the sea

I've been drifting in between you and me

Every time I think about you

I can't remember what I said or did

Was right or wrong, you know I just don't remember

All I wanna be is what you mean to me

All I wanna be is what you mean to me

Late last night as I dreamed in dizzy sunlight

I thought I heard your bare feet up the stairs

Just like a fool, just like a fool

I've been drifting

Like a dream out on the sea

I've been drifting in between what used to be
