Nomad

Tomorrow’s going to find me in another place I never had the urge to settle down There’s so much of this world that I’ve never seen Another mountain, another valley, another town I get those urges every time I hear a train whistle blow Or the sound of a ship pulling out to sea Staying put is killing me and I’ve just got to go That open road is calling out to me My memories take me to my youth Just living for each day Reveling in the joy that freedom brings Flew from Spain to Corsica Saw Ajaccio but I couldn’t stay Listen to a mermaid as she sings Barcelona then the other side of Spain Pull cinderella liberty for New Year’s eve Take the liberty boat back at Two AM With a bottle of cognac up my sleeve Walked around an old castle in Patras Greece On a warm and sunny day Stopped in town and had a few Then it was time to be on my way Remembering all the places that I’ve been Look at the lines carved in my face Wishing I could sail again Memories time cannot erase Dreams take me back to the open sea Stop for a while in Kingston town See the Southern Cross at night Pour another tequila down
