Lyrics

Look inside the mirror, but I don't know who I see
Smoke another cigarette, a smile holds back the tears
These contradictions seem to be the story of my life
A simple man with memories of those long lost golden days
I close my eyes and slowly driftaway

Mistakes I've made remind me of the roads I shouldn't choose
Never comes that easy when you've nothing left to lose
I can't see the answers, tell me why am I so blind?
A tired man, I'll make the best of another lonely day
I close my eyes and slowly driftaway

Misaway, yeah
Never thought I'd make it just from playin my guitar
Just a little smile always shelters me from pain
Every time I start to slide, I wish upon a star
The sun comes out and dries up all the rain

I'm an honest man who refused the shade on a hot and lonely day
I close my eyes and dream my life away
Now I know that I can stop the rain
Close my eyes and slowly driftaway
Close my eyes and dream my life away
