Just like the driftwood of a dream
Left of the seashore of sleep
Just like the words that wouldn't rhyme
Lost in the desert of time
Time waits for no one at all
No, not even you
You thought you'd seen it all before
You really thought you knew

I don't remember what was said
In the confusion that night
I only know what's on my mind
What's in the future we will decide
Time waits for no one at all
No, not even you
You thought you'd seen it all before
You really thought you knew

I've shattered the illusion
Of fortune and of fame
But darling now I know you
Life could never be the same
Oh no... don't leave me driftwood
On the shore

Time waits for no one my love
No, not even you
You thought you'd seen it all before
You really thought you knew

I've shattered the illusion
Of forture and of fame
I'm waking up
I'm reaching up
I'm getting up from this game
Oh no... don't leave me driftwood
On the shore
Oh no... don't, don't leave me driftwood
On the shore...

Very beautiful video

[hollycatable]

Wonderful video to go along with a great song. I'd like to say this is one of my favorite MB songs, but every one of their songs is one of my favorites.

@omstun You are right mate, maybe it's just that having seen the good days, and then I look at all the bad stuff happening now, I tend to get down a lot. Thanks for your nice reply. I hav'nt given up, far from it. If you knew me, you would know that to be true. I did all the early Glastonbury's, went to see lots of live bands, Floyd, The Moody's, original Fleetwood Mac, Barclay James Harvest, to name a few. Just that I miss it all. I get very emotional when I hear certain songs. Take Care Eh?.

@mr1168726 - why give up hombre ? Re-discover your energy and vigour. You are as good as anyone else out there. What is the alternative, lie down and die ? I don`t think so. Don`t even think about the word driftwood anymore, think ALIVE ! Buena Suerte.

Justin Hayward is one of the greatest song writers of our time. This song has always moved me in such an incredible way.  This video truly does justice to this beautiful song. Ty Coloradodream :)

Justin, I love you more than words can say. I fell in love with your voice when I was barely 11, back in 1967 when I first heard "Nights in WS". I've loved you all my life.
