Wanderlust Lyrics

My time is up and the ship bell chimes

So raise the cup and think betimes

Of this poor sailor 'pon the sea

Whose passing is but memory



'Tis not that I would have you think

Of this but as a friendly drink

For with my heart I loved you truly

Though I'm forced to treat you cruelly



CHORUS:

For the fever's upon me

And the Captain is calling

I cannot stay with thee

My destiny's calling

I'll never be free, but I do what I must

A captive of my wanderlust



The tide is turned and so we sail

This brief sojourn has now grown stale

The wanderlust has me, indeed

I care not where my travels lead



The captain asks if I'm a-feared

A smile tangled in his beard

His laughter tells me he must know

The pain that I now undergo



[CHORUS]



I cast my fate into the wind

I have no mate, nor kith, nor kin

For I must go where I am sent

A victim of self-banishment



Orion has become my guide

And Venus is my willing bride

With wanderlust my fuel and feed

I roam the world as 'tis decreed



[REPEAT CHORUS TWICE]
