Wanderer Lyrics

If you asked her where she's going she'll say she doesn't know

If you kissed her on the head she'd close her eyes

Her name is like a flower that only blooms at night

Her hands are folded tightly on the table

Sleeps but she's tired

Talks but she lies

Try to hold her close but away she flies

Built a wall so high that even God has to stand on his toes

To see the other half of the skies

Spends one more night on her own

One more night then she's gone

If you sang her favorite song she wouldn't turn around

Decided nothing new is worth her time

Somewhere in her dreams there's a voice she used to know

A friend who said she'd always have a home

Feels like she's a ghost the way she passes through this town

The world is always changing but she stands her ground

Never met a soul she says worth a second glance

In the winter she says nothing much at all

Lily and rose

Silver and gold

Offer her the universe but she's still cold

Wandered off so far that even Saturn has to squint to see

The island where she sleeps beneath the stars

Spends one more night on her own

One more night then she's gone

And what do you hope to find

Wandering the world like a cloud in the sky

Running away from a storm that will never arrive

Holding you's like holding water

Slips away right when I got her

Mother Earth's one lonely daughter

Come home now

Mmm come home now

Ohhh Ohhh

Ohhh Oh

Ohhh Ohhh

Ohhh Oh

Earth and the moon

Laughter and dreams

Someday she'll have found her way

'Cross all seven seas

Dinner's in the kitchen

And the key's right where you left it

When you disappeared those many years ago
