Lyrics

Hopeless Wanderer

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.

You heard my voice I came out of the woods by choice

Shelter also gave their shade

But in the dark I have no name

So leave that click in my head

And I will remember the words that you said

Left a clouded mind and a heavy heart

But I was sure we could see a new start

So when your hope's on fire

But you know your desire

Don't hold a glass over the flame

Don't let your heart grow cold

I will call you by name

I will share your road

But hold me fast, hold me fast

'Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer

Hold me fast, hold me fast

'Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer

I wrestled long with my youth

We tried so hard to live in the truth

But do not tell me all is fine

When I lose my head, I lose my spine

So leave that click in my head

And I will remember the words that you said

You brought me out from the cold

Now, how I long, how I long to grow old

So when your hope's on fire

But you know your desire

Don't hold a glass over the flame

Don't let your heart grow cold

I will call you by name

I will share your road

But hold me fast, hold me fast

'Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer

Hold me fast, hold me fast

'Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer

I will learn, I will learn to love the skies I'm under

I will learn, I will learn to love the skies I'm under

The skies I'm under
