[Verse 1: Tony Perkins]
Life is an ocean, restless and wild
All is in motion, endless its tide
We are ships that plot our way on life's uncertainty
I've been helpless since the day you drifted away from me

[Chorus: Tony Perkins]
I'm drifting along with the tide
I've gone astray, my day is through
And so I'm tossed, drifting along with the tide
I lost my way when I lost you
My boat's so frail, tossed by a stormy sea
Is forced to sail anywhere faits decree
The winds shall carry me, and so
I'm with the tide, so drifting
Until we meet again

[Chorus: Barbara Cook, Tony Perkins, Both]
I'm drifting along with the tide
I've gone astray, my day is through
And so I'm tossed, drifting along with the tide
I lost my way when I lost you
My boat's so frail, tossed by a stormy sea
Is forced to sail anywhere faits decree
The winds shall carry me
And so
I'm with the tide, so drifting
Until we meet again
And so, on with the tide, I'm drifting
Until we meet again
