wandering
My pathway leads into the west They say it never really ends These legs of mine weren't made to rest I let them take me where they send me wandering  As long as I remember I've been wandering January to December I go wandering  No one asks the wind to blow No one tells a bird to fly No one tells me when to go I don't need a reason why, I'm just wandering  As long as I remember I've been wandering January to December I go wandering  A hundred fifty years ago The famine pushed us off the land Now we live beside the road You'll see us in our caravans  As long as I remember I've been wandering January to December I go wandering  This life I lead is in my blood It's not for me to understand There isn't much I want to own Take what I will and where I can, I'm wandering  As long as I remember I've been wandering January to December just wandering I don't care where I go, just wandering You want to know where I've been I've been wandering
