DRIFTING, DREAMING
Erik Satie, Lyric Don Read1978 ©
Here am I with my head in a cloud
And I seem to be thinking aloud
Drifting, Dreaming
Endlessly, hopelessly, floating afar
Maybe I’ll wake up on some distant star
I need you
Need you to share in the infinite joy of love
Misty images clouding my mind
Is Utopia so hard to find ?
Seeking, searching
Wanting to love you that’s all that I ask
Why is it such an impossible task ?
Where are you ?
Must I rely on my fantasy world of love ?
Keep me warm in the cold of the night
Making love until dawn’s early light
Laughing, loving
*As we surrender to passions untold
Don’t leave me
Don’t ever go from this make believe world of love
. Lyric originally written for Cleo Laine and recorded on an RCA Victor album with James Galway. Also issued as the A side of a single. Album reached number two in the classical charts in 1980 and remained there for 12 weeks. Worldwide sales of the two formats reached over one million.
