heather alexander - wanderlust lyrics
my time is up and the ship bell chimes
so raise the cup and think betimes
of this poor sailor ‘pon the sea
whose p-ssing is but memory
’tis not that i would have you think
of this but as a friendly drink
for with my heart i loved you truly
though i’m forced to treat you cruelly
for the fever’s upon me
and the captain is calling
i cannot stay with thee
my destiny’s calling
i’ll never be free, but i do what i must
a captive of my wanderl-st
the tide is turned and so we sail
this brief sojourn has now grown stale
the wanderl-st has me, indeed
i care not where my travels lead
the captain asks if i’m a-feared
a smile tangled in his beard
his laughter tells me he must know
the pain that i now undergo
for the fever’s upon me
and the captain is calling
i cannot stay with thee
my destiny’s calling
i’ll never be free, but i do what i must
a captive of my wanderl-st
i cast my fate into the wind
i have no mate, nor kith, nor kin
for i must go where i am sent
a victim of self-banishment
orion has become my guide
and venus is my willing bride
with wanderl-st my fuel and feed
i roam the world as ’tis decreed
for the fever’s upon me
and the captain is calling
i cannot stay with thee
my destiny’s calling
i’ll never be free, but i do what i must
a captive of my wanderl-st
for the fever’s upon me
and the captain is calling
i cannot stay with thee
my destiny’s calling
i’ll never be free, but i do what i must
a captive of my wanderl-st
