"Drifting and Dreaming of You" by Valerie Carter (1975)

"Drifting and Dreaming of You" sung by Valerie Carter. Heard during the opening credits to WHITE LINE FEVER (1975). The music and lyrics are presumably by David Nichtern. It seems that this was never issued on vinyl. Long, lonely years here without you Long years to call out your name Wandered alone through the desert Lord, how I prayed for the rain Long years and finally it came Darling, it's so good to hold you again Fear was my constant companion Holding me sleepless each night Memories danced in the shadows Cast by the first rays of light But how can you hold a shadow tight I wanted to hold you with all of my might Friends and neighbors came to call And found me staring at your picture on the wall They would talk to me like old friends do But I was drifting and dreaming of you (Humming - Instrumental Break) Darling, it's so good to hold you again Friends and neighbors came to call And found me staring at your picture on the wall They would talk to me like old friends do But I was drifting and dreaming of you But I was drifting and dreaming of you
