[V1] Winter is fast approaching Bringing in snow from the north Think I'll pick up and dust off this old guitar Hear the memories it can spring forth [CH] Musical drifter Sharing a song and a smile Strumming out presents For everyone's ear Just to leave again after a while Musical drifter [V2] Footsteps fade on the frozen ground But echoes still dance in the air A melody hummed in a small café Lingers like perfume there [CH] Musical drifter Notes like footprints in sand Never quite rooted But always at ease With a tune and a heart in hand Musical drifter [BR] He’s a whisper in the canyon A shadow on the stage A story partly written On a dusty, weathered page He won’t stay long But he’ll leave you changed [V3] Spring comes to thaw the silence And someone will hum his refrain A child with a dream and a secondhand song Will carry his spirit again [CH] Musical drifter His memory is never gone In the hush of the night Or the break of the day His melody will carry on Musical drifter
