The Wanderer Songtext

von Seth Lakeman

Across sliding hills and sculpted fields
Your way it soon ascends
Into a landscape all worn and wise
You're rouven from the blend
From granite vast to sticky marsh
You'll lead your time at ease
For lonely is this wanderer
Whose carried on the breeze

From circle stones to castles flown
And ancient noble mounds
Drinking in your history
And legends that surround
Choke white horse will bow to you
And mark you weary frank
For lonely is the wanderer
Who walks these mighty bounds

This crucial common way
These tracks of your domain
Keep on moving
Keep on moving on
Rise and ramble
The land where you belong
Keep on moving
Keep on moving on
Rise and ramble
The land where you belong

You shelter on the spreading beats
That hold all autumn flare
From pails of rain that smother you
And fill the icy air
Arrow hedges torn by gales
That shape and steady ground
For lonely is the wanderer
Who hails from town to town

This crucial common way
These tracks of your domain
Keep on moving
Keep on moving on
Rise and ramble
The land where you belong
Keep on moving
Keep on moving on
Rise and ramble
The land where you belong

From abbey lanes to grave remains
The truth is seldom seen
Drinking in your sanctuary
On a bed of rolling green
A passage to be sober
A passage to be free
For lonely is this wanderer
Whose carried on the breeze

This crucial common way
The tracks of your domain
Keep on moving
Keep on moving on
Rise and ramble
The land where you belong
Keep on moving
Keep on moving on
Rise and ramble
The land where you belong
Keep on moving
Keep on moving on
Rise and ramble
The land where you belong
Keep on moving
Keep on moving on
Rise and ramble
The land where you belong
