Lyrics
Vagabond Heart
T.M. Shine
That night before
You went overseas
You tried to put me at ease
One day wed see the world together
Wed go far beyond this lake
One adventure after another
Four years later
That night keeps getting longer
Im not getting any stronger
To hold on, I close my eyes
And see clear as tomorrow
How we took the train ride
Through the mountains to Vancouver
I took you to bed
In a bed & breakfast
Woke up in a claw foot tub
Your body intertwined with mine
Only in my mind
Babe, I woulda been fearless on the trail
But now I am scared to death
Until I take a breath
And let my mind go
Till its gone
Someday theyll say I was a drifter
Who lived in one place all her life
Because my heart is a vagabond
Always wandering, always wandering
Down the road
To you
No time or the money
To take the journey alone
But thanks to you
I still have this home
Lie out in the yard
Let the grass grow around me
Like some rusty old rim
Always thinking of what could have been
Tonight, my mind swirls and frets
As our daughter hops up and down
These weathered steps
Amelia, one day well see the new world
When we've got the money and the time
Push comes to shove, I will shove
My dear, come here, hold me close
There's a chill in the air
The moon is a sliver high above
Pointing toward the planet of love
Toward love
Babe, I woulda been fearless on the trail
But now Im scared to death
Until I take a breath
And let my heart go
Till its gone
Like debris on fast water-
Gone, gone, gone
Someday, theyll say I was a drifter
Who lived in one place all her life
Because my heart is a vagabond
Always wandering, always wandering
Down the road
With you
