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 wonderer, 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 wonderer who walks these mighty bounds.w
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
