The Wanderer

Yes I’ve lost true loves bride
And in no one I can confide
From the world I wish to hide
Out on this loneliest road side 

All I have left now is my pride
But that will keep me satisfied
Until this deep pain will subside
Out on the road I will reside

Beneath cold stars I will roam
Until my heart has re-grown
Walking long and on my owe
This long road will be my home

I’ll make the hard earth my bed
Under cold sky I lye spread 
With rocks to pillow my head 
To all intents I am dead

As the sunsets over my road 
And the red colours do explode
Casting darkness over my load
The black over me at last flowed
