Lyrics:

I don't believe in miracles, if it's all the same by you.
Your wishes would come true if I had my say.
Whether it's right or wrong, the words of every song,
Remind us of the love we knew where
Love should not go wrong, in yesterday.

Hang on ye drifters now, you got so much to go and gamble on.
Watch out for the shifting sand, where ever you may ramble.

Even now as I look back n' see all that's come to pass,
I can't remember how it was I got here.
Look around this place, there's a smile on every face.
We're somewhere at the afterglow out
There among the stars, out there among the bars.

Hang on ye drifters now, you got places to go and people to meet.
Watch out for the shifting tide, where ever you may travel. 

I know I should not complain because life's been good to me.
It feels real good to be stranded on my own.
Be that as it may be, we are what we are.
I'll find you at the afterglow out
There among the stars, of yesteryear.

Hang on ye drifters now, you got so much to go and gamble on.
Watch out for the shifting sand, where ever you may ramble.

All you drifters now, y'got places to go and people to meet.
Watch out for the shifting tide, where ever you may travel
