The Wayfarer

Lyrics

The Wayfarer

He rode across the wastelands as a teen
Discovering the wild, not often seen
He learned quite a lot and learned to survive
The wayfarer saw the dead and alive
The wayfarer, life is lonely
Byway of the one and only
The wayfarer, solitary
Riding across life’s wide prairie
The wastelands left him with a roving mind
That’s still growing with the passage of time
He’s been many places but unreconciled
The wayfarer wears the face of the wild
The wayfarer, life is lonely
Byway of the one and only
The wayfarer, solitary
Riding across life’s wide prairie
Home is where the lonely wayfarer goes
Where home is only the wayfarer knows
The wayfarer knows life is take and give
He has given all for this life to live
The wayfarer, life is lonely
Byway of the one and only
The wayfarer, solitary
Riding across life’s wide prairie
Numb to life’s lecture
Alive for the venture
The wayfarer, solitary
Riding across life’s wide prairie

Great song. I loved the lines about how home is only where the wayfarer knows. Those lines work so well together. Nice!!
