Wanderlust

I have wept until I've slept

Into the lap of the lady that I love

And though she begged and she cajoled

I couldn't tell her what I was thinking of

I didn't choose, no, I was chosen

By a life that must be lived in passing through

And though she changed so much for me

Changing this is the one thing I cannot do

Darling, I'm leaving

The distance keeps calling me on

Darling, come morning

I'll be gone

She is beauty, she is graceful in her poise

She is gentle in her care

The is the calm within the centre of my storm

She is her fingers through my hair

She has my heart but it is breaking

'Cause it knows that deep inside she still believes

That there will ever come a morning when I'm staying

And not gathering to leave

Darling, I'm leaving

The distance keeps calling me on

Darling, come morning

I'll be gone

Baby, let's get out of the city

We need to breathe some cleaner air

That creeping feeling's starting

Like I miss you, though we're both of us still here

There's a sadness in your smiles now

And an edge of desperation in your voice

We have all this independence

But it still feels like we never had a choice

Darling, I'm leaving
