lyrics

Wanderlust

Pack my sorrow up and give myself away to some novel adventure, the seven seas I'll sail.
I'll be a seafaring pilgrim, there'll be no compass for me,
if I partner the ocean and I quiver knock-kneed.

While the tides they rise around me and I know that it's time to go,
the tides they rise around me and I know that it's time to go.

Oh, how landlocked lies London, but there's a tune whistled still,
down cobbles and amber and all along the fey Primrose Hill.
Hark the tides rise to offer me, some escape from her verse,
If I roll on the ocean, I'll be lost to her curse

While the tides they rise around me and I know that it's time to go,
the tides they rise around me and I know that it's time to go.

Hallelujah I know now, lord it's now that I know,
oh, the roll of the jetsam and the ebb and the flow,
Hallelujah I know now, lord it's now that I know,
oh, the drift of the treasure, I've been asleep in the hold,
while the tides they rise around me and I know.

You may remember me fondly, you may bid me farewell,
you may speak of my legend and all your friends you can tell,
whenever I've shoreleave, you'll see how different I'll be,
with my port and my starboard and all the secrets I've gleaned.

While the tides they rise around me and I know that it's time to go,
the tides they rise around me and I know that it's time to go.

Hallelujah I know now, lord it's now that I know,
oh, the roll of the jetsam and the ebb and the flow,
Hallelujah I know now, lord it's now that I know,
oh, the drift of the treasure, I've been asleep in the hold,
while the tides they rise around me and I know.
