i wandered

i wandered,
i wandered far
upon my back swung my guitar
who takes you in
when your heart’s lost,
and you’re alone

just another empty day
out of breath and you don’t know why
you tell yourself that this too will pass
and it does, of course, it does

you tell me, you tell me this
when love fades like a moonlit kiss
who counts your tears
when your dream’s gone
and you’re forlorn

on the other side
catch a glimpse of your soul all raw
hear a voice from behind
if not you who than who, and tell me when…

sometimes i, sometimes i rest
cradle these strings towards my breast
and as i play
thoughts die away, and i’m alone

way deep inside
catch a glimpse of a soul so rare
hear it sweet and kind
loud enough to hear, with all the words

someday i’ll, somewhere i’ll find
that sacred peace i left behind
the joy i lost oh and half forgot
to lead me home
to lead me home
