The wBild geese are Edancing in thBe ripples ofG#m the morn
My waBnderlust isE formed
I've got tD#mo follow tC#mhem wherever thF#mey may lead
ForB I am justE a sailor Bon a ship acrosF#ms the land
LBet me hold yourE hand
To bid farD#mewell so I C#mcan knuckle F#mto my knees
BBut I'll D#mbe back agaiG#mn no matter where I go
For it'C#ms only loveF#m that frees thBe fire for burning
BThen I'll take D#myou in my armG#ms and tell you all I know
As IC#m sing the eF#marly song of Bmy returning
The weary world is waiting for ambition to be played
Now young and not afraid
I've got to challenge every chalice that I know
My eager ears are listening for the singing of the sign
Deeper are the lines
Upon the face that finds reflections in the road
Yes, I'll be back again no matter where I go
For it's only love that frees the fire for burning
Then I'll take you in my arms and tell you all I know
As I sing the changing song of my returning
My drifting days prepare me to do battle with the night
A phantom of the fight
I've got conquer all the courage of my fears
The answer lies in limbo(?) and the harvest will be hard
But sacred are the scars
That leave their mark on the fast disolving years
Yes, I'll be back again no matter where I go
For it's only love that frees the fire for burning
Then I'll take you in my arms and tell you all I know
As I sing the growing song of my returning
Time must have her victory
It's that I've always known
But I won or lost alone
And when a voice calls out "there's someone you must meet"
With every strength remaining
I will suffer one more scene
I'll gather all my dreams
And with my final breath
I'll lay them at your feet.
Yes, I'll be back again no matter where I go
For it's only love that frees the fire for burning
Then I'll take you in my arms and tell you all I know
As I sing the final song of my returning
