Song Of My Returning
The wild geese are dancing in the ripples of the morn My wanderlust is born I've got to follow them wherever they may lead For I am just a sailor on a ship across the land Let me hold your hand to bid farewell so i can not go to my knees But 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 early song of my 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 Letras de cancionesBut 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 From Letras Mania
