wandering

Verse 1 Here I go, a-wandering where The sky and mountains meet Trees sway softly, shedding leaves That rustle ‘neath my feet I see no other wanderers No footsteps close or near Just me and all the birds and bees Beneath a sky so clear Chorus Oh I wander on, I wander slow With nowhere left to be Just the road and breath and beating heart Keeping time with me The world grows wide, the noise grows thin I’m finally free to see It’s just the earth, the open air And wandering me Verse 2 I pause upon the mountainside The valley far below A final look at all this light Before it’s time to go Last chance to take the scenery Let the moment stay I hold it close, then turn my feet Back toward another day Chorus Oh I wander on, I wander slow With nowhere left to be Just the road and breath and beating heart Keeping time with me The world grows wide, the noise grows thin I’m finally free to see It’s just the earth, the open air And wandering me Verse 3 I wander down a dusty road To start my journey back Passing stacks of lumber Lying neatly by the track The forest parts, my passage clears The path begins to show Each step a little closer now To places that I know Bridge The light is fading, soft and low The sky turns bruised and kind Every mile I’ve walked today I carry in my mind Final Chorus Oh I wander on, I wander home The distance growing small The road that led me far away Now gently starts to call I see my home, it beckons me In evening’s quiet light It won’t be long before I’m there So I bid you all goodnight
