Travelin’ (Act 1, Scene 1)
Ever since I was a young lad I’ve been afraid
That some day I’d be an older man; memories fade
But time flies and days go by and I’ve aged
But I’m still as young at heart as I was that day
I Said,
“I’ll never grow old,
I’ll never grow old.”
And ever since then I been wanderin’ - Away
Ever since then I been travelin’ - Away
Ever since then I been unravelin’ - I’m frayed
Yeah ever since then I been travelin’ - Away
And I ain’t got no
Destination (Act 1, Scene 2)
Destination
I am the wanderer who’s path leads nowhere
I cannot get lost but I cannot be found
If you’d like to journey then I’ll see you there
At the edge of the earth where the sky meets the ground
Oh Yeah!
At the destination
At the destination
For ages I’ve conquered unbearable lands
Treacherous pathways I have overcome
If you’d like to journey places unfit for man
Then come to the end where the moon meets the sun
Oh Yeah I ain’t got no destination
No destination
No destination
Card Castle (Act 1, Scene 3)
Sand’s blowin’ in my face
As I wander the dunes
I navigate
By the light of the moon
Rising up in the evening sky
Oh the cold grows so strong
Don’t you know?
I been across the baron and the bleak
Been walking all my time
But I still have not grown weak
Oh yeah!
Oh! Yeah! Oh! Yeah!
And I see the castle made of cards
Walls made of spades, diamonds and clubs
The slightest breeze to send them crashin’ down
Like a shadow I slipped inside
I found a fortunes worth of gold
Thieving all that I could hold
The king sent out his men (oh yeah) for my head
I deviate from the forces behind
I navigate by the light of the dawn
The suns rising in the morning sky
Oh the heat grows so strong
Birds of prey follow above me
As I wither they patiently wait
I am lost; travelin’ in circles
I see my footsteps which I laid down once before
Now I’m alone
By now the kings men must be drawin’ nearer
I must venture to find a safer place
In this deck of cards I am the thief, the joker
Not needed but I stay here anyway
I deviate from the forces behind
The sun depreciates
The moon steals it light
Rising once again in the evening sky
Oh my map returns
An Offering (Act 1, Scene 4)
Well I walked into the bar and I sat down at my stool
It wasn’t long until a man walked up to me and kindly said,
“I know who you are, you’re the man on the wanted sign.
The wanderer who’s wanted for his life”
I replied,
“I am the wanderer who’s path leads nowhere
I cannot be lost but I cannot be found
If you would like to join me then I will see you there
At the edge of the earth where the sky meets the ground,
The ground
Alright!
There’s so many places, so much to be seen
But many of these things I wish that I had not
But if you would like to view things that live in your dreams
Than come to the land that the world has forgot”
Dead or Alive (Act 1, Scene 5)
I ain’t got time to waste
I ain’t got many days
I’m wanted for my life
I ain’t got time to waste
I ain’t got many days
I’m wanted dead or alive
But if you wanna take your chances and see
See all the things that the world can be
Why don’t you come a walkin’ with me
Live hard
Live free
I ain’t got longer now
Each day I’m counting down
Death lurks behind each corner
I ain’t got longer now
I must escape somehow
I cannot live this horror
And I’ve been runnin’ away
And times catchin’ up to me
And now I’m ready to go
On my own
But if you wanna take your chances and see
See all the things that the world can be
Why don’t you come a walkin’ with me
Live hard
Live free
Oasis (Act 2, Scene 1)
Walkin’ through the desert but I ain’t seen nothin’ real
Water on the horizon but it always disappears
Searchin’ for the oasis where the palm trees shade-
Me
Dreamin’ of cool water trickling my toes
The s-s-s-sensation
No one knows where my oasis lies
Under the clear blue skies
In the desert dry I’ll spend my time well reclined
Relaxing at my pleasure
Smoke and Mirrors (Act 2, Scene 2)
Grains of sand sparkle beneath my feet
I do believe I’m getting closer
Shadows cast from the pathway which I stray
The earth she is my guide
And through all the smoke and mirrors I found a way
Things aren’t always how they appear these days
These days, these days
I found my way
My memory triggers as I slip away
A blast from the past, it happened so fast
My destination she calls to me its hard to say
How I came to this place
My feelings have guided me
So naturally
And through all the smoke and mirrors I found a way
Things aren’t always how they appear these days
These days, these days, these days
I found my way
She Waits For Me (Act 2, Scene 3)
Time she waits for me
Time she waits for me
Time she waits for me
Time she waits for me
Don’t you worry ‘bout the past
Time could never last so long
Sand slips through the hour glass as it falls
And I believe that time-time-
Time she waits for me
She waits for me
Time: She waits for me
Life: She isn’t cheap
It’s by the way she walks, the way she talks
I cannot solve her mystery
It’s how the story goes and I’ll always know
She waits for me
She waits for me
Time: She isn’t cheap
I said that life: She’ll cause you grief
All the pain she caused
Just a simple cost
On her ever tolling fee
It’s how the story goes
And I’ll always know she waits for me
Don’t you worry ‘bout the past
Time could never last so long
Sand slips through the hour glass as it falls
And I believe that time-time-
She waits for me
The moon is red in the sky tonight
Oh the prophet said that it would shine so bright
That the oasis which I call my home
Would no longer be hidden from all those who roam
The sands tonight
Well all the kings horses and all the kings men
Have come out in forces to deliver my head
And the price which he offers is worth more then my soul
And the mark of another says I can’t stay I must go
Back to the desert; back to the unknown
Back to the old times and that which I know
Far too well
The Road (Act 2, Scene 4)
And I know my time has come
Back to the desert I run
The sands have lifted to the sky
The lands shifted to the nigh
And I’ll carry on whether I’m right or wrong
I’d rather fall than lose the fight
Stars beam my journey begins
Never to be seen again
Knights ride swiftly
To surrender my life
But I’m so slippery
They’ll never take me alive
I am the wanderer who’s path leads nowhere
I cannot be lost but I cannot be found
If you’d like to join me then I’ll see you there
At the edge of the earth where the sky meets the ground
And I’m’a start down the road!
I’m on the road
I’m on the road
Back to my home
That which I know
I’m on the road
I’m on the road
He’s on the road
I’m on the road
Back to my home
I’m on the road
I’m on the road
He’s on the road
Back to his home
Yeah the road
That which he knows
I’m on the road
Back to my home
That which I know
I’m on the road
I’m on the road
