the wayfarer

Bruce Springsteen

Same sad story, love and glory goin' 'round and 'round
Same old cliché, a wanderer on his way
slippin' from town to town
Some find peace here on the sweet streets
the sweet streets of home
Where kindness falls
and your heart calls for a permanent place of your own

I'm a wayfarer, baby, I drift from town to town

When everyone's asleep and the midnight bells sound
My wheels are hissin' up the highway
spinning 'round and 'round

You start out slow in a sweet little bungalow
something two can call home
Then rain comes fallin', the blues come calling
and you're left with a heart of stone
Some folks are inspired sitting by the fire
slippers tucked under the bed
But when I go to sleep I can't count sheep
for the white lines in my head

I'm a wayfarer, baby, I roam from town to town
When everyone's asleep and the midnight bells sound
My wheels are hissin' up the highway
spinning 'round and 'round

Where are you now, where are you now
Where are you now

I'm a wayfarer, baby, I roam from town to town
When everyone's asleep and the midnight bells sound
My wheels are hissin' up the highway
spinning 'round and 'round

I'm a wayfarer, baby, I'm a wayfarer, baby
I'm a wayfarer, baby, I'm a wayfarer, baby
I'm a wayfarer, baby, I'm a wayfarer, baby
I'm a wayfarer, baby, I'm a wayfarer, baby
