Love Don't Roam

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.

Well, I've roamed about this earth

With just a suitcase in my hand

And I've met some bog-eyed joe's

I've met the blessed, I've met the damned

But of all the strange, strange creatures

In the air, at sea, on land

Oh, my girl, my girl, my precious girl

I love you, you understand

So, reel me in, my precious girl

Come on, take me home

'Cause my body's tired of travelling

And my heart don't wish to roam. No, no

I have wandered, I have rambled

I have crossed this crowded sphere

And I've seen a mass of problems

That I long to disappear

Now, all I have's this anguished heart

For you have vanished too

Oh, my girl, my girl, my precious girl

Just what is this man to do?

So, reel me in, my precious girl

Come on, take me home

'Cause my body's tired of travelling

And my heart don't wish to roam

Yeah, reel me in, my precious girl

Come on, take me home

'Cause my body's tired of travelling

And my heart don't wish to roam. No, no

Well, you took me in, you stole my heart

I cannot roam no more

Because love, it stays within you

It does not wash up on a shore

But a fighting man forgets each cut

Each knock, each bruise, each fall

But a fighting man cannot forget

Why his love don't roam no more

Oh, reel me in, my precious girl

Come on, take me home

'Cause my body's tired of travelling

And my heart don't wish to roam

Yeah, reel me in, my precious girl

Come on, take me home

'Cause my body's tired of travelling

And my heart don't wish to roam

Yeah, walk with me, my love, my love

Walk tall, walk proud, walk far

For you know my love, you are, you are

You are my shining star

Walk with me, oh my love

Walk tall, walk proud, walk far

For you know my love, you are, you are

You are my shining star, you are, you are

Yeah!

Reel me in, my precious girl

Come on, take me home

My body's tired of travelling

And my heart don't wish to roam
