Wandering Lyrics - Tim O'brien

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
