about

The title track of our upcoming EP, Wanderlust follows in the old folk tradition of travelling songs.

lyrics

The sun rose this morning in my home town
It put on a brilliant show
But now evening has come to the place I am from
I have got to go, oh, I have got to go

So I packed up my bags and I headed east
I crossed an ocean wide
And I was unaware of what I would find there
On the other side, oh, on the other side

When I landed in that foreign land
I breathed in the brand new air
All of my life I will remember the thrill
Of just being there, oh, just being there

Oh! How it grips me, the hunger of this travelling heart
Oh! How I love the adventure that comes when an ending meets a start!

So I stayed there for a day or two
And then I felt like moving on
On the road again, through the sun and rain
And I had just begun, oh, I had just begun

Oh, there’s too much to see and too much to do
But I will try and do it all
And if I trip up and fail then I will have a tale
Of my great and glorious fall, oh this is my great and glorious fall

Oh! How it grips me, the hunger of this travelling heart
Oh! How I love the adventure that comes when an ending meets a start!

Not all those who wander are lost
So I’ll wander, yes I’ll wander
To find what it is I have lost
Oh I’ll wander, yes I’ll wander
…Wanderlust!

Oh! How it grips me, the hunger of this travelling heart
Oh! How I love the adventure that comes when an ending
Is surpassed by a new life ascending into the world of hope that is sending
A new start!
