Wanderer's Lament Lyrics - Chris Robinson

Dreamer come spring time 

water's running quick 

black winged dance of fireflies 

in the garden where we sit 

never dream to gypsy 

of rollin' over stone 

an eternity, an instant, forever, a heart of coal 

yellow burns the summer 

no grave shall go to waste 

hold my hand and let's go under 

to be reborn in some new place 

where our souls are never strangers 

let our shadows find the day 

as we stand in the light of our love 

until we fly away 

You're never alone 

you're never alone 

if there's thunder and rain 

the wonder of love 

the weakness of love 

makes us all the same 

I get so tired of treading the wake 

and I'm not afraid of empty pain 

To take away such sorrow 

to give another your hand 

you are no untamed daughter 

oh let the water, let the water wash it all away 

morning's cold and these lonely 

wild geese fly away 

I will build you a fire 

if you'll be my serenade 

come a tender new season 

come a somber July 

come any way come any how 

you will find me by your side 

You're never alone 

you're never alone 

if there's thunder and rain 

the wonder of love 

the weakness of love 

makes us all the same 

I get so tired of treading the wake 

and I'm not afraid of empty pain 

and I'm not afraid of empty pain
