The Wanderer - Seth Lakeman

Across sliding hills and sculpted fields

your way it soon ascends

Into a landscape all worn and wise

you’re rouven from the blend

From granite vast to sticky marsh

you’ll lead your time at ease

For lonely is this wanderer

whose carried on the breeze

From circle stones to castles flown

and ancient noble mounds

Drinking in your history

and legends that surround

Choke white horse will bow to you

and mark you weary frank

For lonely is the wanderer

who walks these mighty bounds

This crucial common way

these tracks of your domain

Keep on moving

keep on moving on

Rise and ramble

the land where you belong

Keep on moving

keep on moving on

Rise and ramble

the land where you belong

You shelter on the spreading beats

that hold all autumn flare

From pails of rain that smother you

and fill the icy air

Arrow hedges torn by gales

that shape and steady ground

For lonely is the wanderer

who hails from town to town

This crucial common way

these tracks of your domain

Keep on moving

keep on moving on

Rise and ramble

the land where you belong

Keep on moving

keep on moving on

Rise and ramble

the land where you belong

From abbey lanes to grave remains

the truth is seldom seen

Drinking in your sanctuary

on a bed of rolling green

A passage to be sober

a passage to be free

For lonely is this wanderer

whose carried on the breeze

This crucial common way

the tracks of your domain

Keep on moving

keep on moving on

Rise and ramble

the land where you belong

Keep on moving

keep on moving on

Rise and ramble

the land where you belong

Keep on moving

keep on moving on

Rise and ramble

the land where you belong

Keep on moving

keep on moving on

Rise and ramble

the land where you belong
