Wandering lyrics
by Brandi Carlile
[Verse 1]
There are lines on my hand in a canyon of sand
We were miracles once in a tremblin' dance
Just the light from a star that shimmers and burns
Only light years away from the lessons it learned
But there's a heart on a leaf, when it cracks in the cold
And it falls at your feet in the amber and gold
Like a drum playin' beats a thousand years old
And it bursts at the seams of the stories it told
[Pre-Chorus]
But she holds you
'Cause she knows you
[Chorus]
And Heaven dried the tears into clear water
Through ancient nights renew the dreams of men
And through the wild that hears into the yonder
The breath of time calls me to wander again
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, it calls me to wander again
Yeah, wanderin', wanderin', wanderin'
[Verse 2]
It's in the love from the moon for the mornin' dew
When it clings to the grass just to remind you
That change is a gift, forever was a lie
With a kiss from the sun, it returns to the sky
It's in the whisper of the wind when it blows through your hair
And it waits for you there in the cold mountain air
There's no gold in those hymns, it'll bring you despair
Only holes to be filled and they'll always be there
[Chorus]
Heavens dried the tears into clear water
Through ancient eyes, renew the dreams of men
And through the wild that hears into the yonder
The breath of time calls me to wander again
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, and it calls me to wander again
Yeah, wanderin', wanderin', wanderin'
Ooh
[Bridge]
We are bound by a place that'll bring you to your knees
And it breathes for the world through the tops of the trees
To a river in the sky, and it cries to the wise
And it shows you
[Pre-Chorus]
She holds you
'Cause she knows you
[Chorus]
Heaven dried the tears into clear water
Through ancient earth, renew the dreams of men
And through the wild that hears into the yonder
The breath of time calls me to wander again
[Outro]
Oh, and it calls me to wander
Wander again
Yeah, wanderin', wanderin', wanderin'
Wanderin', wanderin', wanderin'
