Wayfarer

[Lyrics II / Song VI]

Lyrics for a song to be written by Joel Thomas Martin.

To step into a dream
Is no simple thing
To live a dream, so much harder

The dreams I have dreamt
And all I have spent
To bring me closer to forever

But the closer I have got
The more I have lost
Getting further along the way
Became a burden of my own making

[Chorus:]
I have come and I have gone
To places known only in old men's songs
But I am a man who lost out to the years
Returning to himself only after so very long

And what has it been for?
When now I know no more
Even after everything I have seen

Still searching for a home
Still walking my own road
Even after everywhere I have been

Tomorrow will be like yesterday
Another destination I'll mislay
There is no end to my journey
I'll never find what I'm looking for

[Chorus:]
I have come and I have gone
To places known only in old men's songs
But I am a man who lost out to the years
Returning to himself only after so very long

What has it been for
After everything?
