Shayla, Part 1
The Wandering Heart (Shayla Part 1)
by Bob Dylan, Ima Gen, and B. Marquardt-Alexander
(Verse 1)
On desolate highways, she stands alone
A beauty worn, with eyes that once shone
Near thirty summers, her heart does ache
With every step, a piece of her does break
(Chorus)
Oh, Shayla, with a heart full of pain
She searches for solace, but it's all in vain
Her goodbye remains unspoken, a ghost in the air
A love that crumbles, leaving her with empty air
(Verse 2)
She questions the silence, the shards of her past
The fragments of his gaze, that still linger vast
She's shattered, like the classes that fell to the ground
With bleeding hands, she tries to mend, but can't be found
(Chorus)
Oh, Shayla, with a heart full of pain
She searches for solace, but it's all in vain
Her goodbye remains unspoken, a ghost in the air
A love that crumbles, leaving her with empty air
(Bridge)
She hitchhikes through the night, with a restless soul
Trying to escape the shards that make her whole
But the pain clings tight, like a winter's chill
A solitary figure, on a dark and endless hill
(Chorus)
Oh, Shayla, with a heart full of pain
She searches for solace, but it's all in vain
Her goodbye remains unspoken, a ghost in the air
A love that crumbles, leaving her with empty air
