FILK: Drift Away

Disclaimer first of all.  This is my first attempt at a FILK, I am not a talented Filker like so many others on this list, and I don't even know what possessed me to try, other than being bored during my second day of faculty meetings.  So there.  

The title is "Drift Away" from Harry's point of view, OoP, during the time he had detention with Umbridge, to the song "Drift Away" (Uncle Kracker--somebody else did it first, but I can't remember who).    I tried in vain to find a sound file someplace out there, no luck.  (Other than the 20 odd second clip on Amazon.com, that is)

Verse 1

Every evenin' in detention
I look out the window at the pitch
Out there's a game that I wanna play
I'm feelin' the pain, tryin' to keep sane

Chorus

Oh, give me my Firebolt and let me fly
I wanna get lost in the sky above and drift away
Oh, give me my Firebolt and let me fly
I wanna get lost in the sky above and drift away

Verse 2

Beginnin' to think that I've lost my mind
I don't understand what's happenin' here
All that I did was tell the truth
Now I'm tryin' to hide my pain from you

Chorus

Oh, give me my Firebolt and let me fly
I wanna get lost in the sky above and drift away
Oh, give me my Firebolt and let me fly
I wanna get lost in the sky above and drift away

Verse 3/Bridge

And when my hand is bleedin'
I need anything to soothe me
And when I'm feelin' down
My Firebolt's comin' through to help me
Thanks for the freedom you've given me
I'll take my broom & fly away
The wind & the clouds & the sunshine
All help me along, makin' me free

Chorus

Oh, give me my Firebolt and let me fly
I wanna get lost in the sky above and drift away
Oh, give me my Firebolt and let me fly
I wanna get lost in the sky above and drift away

____________
Okay, that's all folks. :)
