Wandering Lyrics – Brandi Carlile
There are lines on my hand in a canyon of sand
We were miracles once in a trembling dance
Just the light from a star that shimmers and burns
Only light years away from the lessons it learned
But there's a heart on a leaf
When it cracks in the cold
And it falls at your feet
In the amber and gold
Like a drum playing beats
A thousand years old
And it bursts at the seams
Of the stories it told
But she holds you
Cause she knows you
heaven cried her tears into clear water
Through ancient eyes
We knew the dreams of men
And through the world
The tears into the order
The breath of time
Calls me to wander again
Oh, it caused me to wander again
Yeah, wandering, wandering, wandering
It's in the love from the moon
For the morning dew
When it clings to the grass
Just to remind you that change is a gift
Forever is a lie
With a kiss from the sun
It returns to the sky
It's in the whisper of the wind
When it blows through your hair
And it waits for you there
In the cold mountain air
There's no gold in those hills
It'll bring you despair
Only holes to be filled
And they'll always be there
Heaven cried her
Tears into clear waters
Through ancient eyes
We knew the dreams of men
And through the world
With years into the yonder
The breath of time
Calls me to wander again
Oh, it calls me to wander again
Yeah, wandering, wandering, wandering
Ooh
You're bound by a place
That'll bring you to your knees
And it breathes for the world
Through the tops of the trees
To a river in the sky and it drives through the wires and it shows you
She holds you
She knows you
Heaven cried her tears into clear water
Through ancient eyes
We knew the dreams of men
And through the world
Through the earth and to the yonder
The breath of time
Calls me to wonder again
Oh, it calls me to wander, wander again
Yeah, wandering,wandering,wandering
Wandering, wandering, wandering
Oh, my God.
Oh
