Wanderer - Francesca Blanchard

I am a wanderer

Looking for escape

This road is too long

I can’t reach the gate

Some people tell me

«Beware of your heart

The sun hits real hard

In these parts»

La da da, da da da, da da da

My body is aching

From the pain in my chest

I can’t get no rest

It’s cold and I’m shaken

My feet are all blistered

From walking too fast

Trying to run from the past

I don’t miss her

Lonely and lost I can’t find

My way through this big city

Of blues that I’ve drowned myself in

I’ve got nobody to talk to

Find me a lover or maybe a

Friend who can give me

Directions to somwhere back East

I am a wanderr

And this is my plea

La da da, da da da, da da da

Some woman suggested

I come to your house

Don’t know what you’re about

Guess I’ll find out

She said you were sweeter

Than spring time in May

That perhaps I could stay

'Til the blues fade away

Hungry and thirsty

For something worthwhile, I will cling to

Whatever salvation you throw

I’ve got no money to give, though

Sing me a song of Bohemia

Whisper the words

Of a caravan lost out at sea

I am a wanderer

And this is my plea

La da da, da da da, da da da
