lyrics

THE WANDERER
((John Jones)

The sun shines down on a pure white horse
Carved in the ground before time got lost
Shadows of clouds like a lava flow
Cross these downs I have walked before
I cannot stop - the path has hold on me
The devil can’t take my energy
My feet have wings that turn to white
Five miles to sunset in a fading light

Chorus
And I will sing for you tonight
And I will sing for you tonight

Glass towers in the distance fade from view
More windows, less space, rain on the roof
Another ticket to ride, permission to sing
But out here I do not need a thing
I cannot stop - time has hold on me
I'll follow this path to eternity
Borne on a winged horse that turns to white
Carried by winds that whip like kites
Five miles to go and a welcoming light

Chorus

Songs of love, songs of loss and yearning
Pain we never imagined bearing
But the journey’s always worth the taking

Chorus

For the pain I carry I can never tame
If I keep on walking, there's no need to explain
Treading in footsteps that carry the weight
Of travelling heroes who left it too late
I cannot stop - time has hold on me
I cannot stop - I know where I want to be
This path bore many, now it's my lifeline
It carries their hopes, now it carries mine
Borne on a winged horse that turns to white
Down in the valley I can see light

Chorus
