DRIFTING AND DREAMING OF YOU
From the film "White Line Fever" (1975)


Valerie Carter (Film Soundtrack) - 1975






Long lonely years here without you
Long years to call out your name
Wandered alone through the desert
Lord, how I prayed for the rain
Long years and finally it came
Darling, it's so good to hold you again


Fear was my constant companion
Holding me sleepless each night
Memories danced in the shadows
Danced by the first rays of light
But how can you hold a shadow tight
I wanted to hold you with all of my might


Friends and neighbours came to call
And found me staring at your picture on the wall
They would talk to me like old friends do
But I was drifting and dreaming of you


(Humming - Instrumental Break)


Darling, it's so good to hold you again
Friends and neighbours came to call
And found me staring at your picture on the wall
They would talk to me like old friends do
But I was drifting and dreaming of you
But I was drifting and dreaming of you
