Girl who I've known forever, 
Girl who I've loved in my dreams, 
Girl who I've felt in the silence; 
And heard in the running streams - 

Hear you the song of the drifter, 
Hear you the love that he sings, 
Hear you the tale of the open road; 
And the wonder of little things - 

Turn not away from the singer, 
Turn not away from his song, 
Turn not away for the evening - 
Is chill and the road has been long. 

Take you the heart of the drifter, 
Take you his strength and his skill - 
Take you his youth and his longing; 
Take them and crush them and kill!
