Lyrics

Wandering Spirit

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

When all the twelve Apostles try to ring me on the phone

Take a message but I won't return their call

For I have no eyes to see him and I thought I lost my way

And I know I've lost the keys to your door

And I climbed the highest mountain and I looked down on the sea

And I saw a ship a-sail to the shore

I took a passage to the East and I journeyed to the West

I made love from Battambang to Baltimore

I said, oh, am I running in a race

I said, oh, am I getting anyplace

I said, oh, can I make it

I'm a wandering spirit

I'm a wandering spirit

I'm a wandering spirit

I'm a wandering spirit, yes I am a restless soul

I'm a wandering spirit, there's no place that I can call my own

I was a glutton at the banquet and I spilt the finest wine

Trod the pyramids and ruins of Angkor

I kissed the Mona Lisa and I breakfasted with kings

And I touched the nerves of nature in the raw

I said, oh, am I running in a race

I said, oh, take that smile right off your face

I said, oh, I can't make it

I'm a wandering spirit

I'm a wandering spirit

I'm a wandering spirit, no escape, no parole

I'm a wandering spirit

I'm a wandering spirit

I'm a wandering spirit, there's no place that

I can call my home

I said, oh, am I running in a race

I said, oh, take that smile right off your face

I said, oh, I can't make it

I'm a wandering spirit

I'm a wandering spirit

I'm a wandering spirit, looking for a place to go

I'm a wandering spirit

I'm a wandering spirit

I'm a wandering spirit, no escape, no parole

I'm a wandering spirit, I'm a lost and lonely soul
