No More Wandering
Blair Duluoz
I used to believe
In true love;
I used to believe
Somehow it would all work out,
That all these lonely roads,
These broken tracks,
This pain and torment
Would lead to something greater—
Dreams of peace everlast.
Fifteen years lost,
Walking blind,
Afraid and alone,
Forgotten in time.
This wheel of life—
Day to night,
No end in sight—
Rolling through,
Passing me by.
Then, I saw you standing there,
Dropping the ribbons from your hair,
Speaking to the light,
And o' I listened.
You stoped my dead,
Brought me back
When you said,
"I know just what you are;
Lay down your weary head."
And o' the hours flew by
As we danced all through the night,
Whispering 'neath the stars
That turn to diamonds.
And o' it hit me:
That all this senseless wandering,
Those roads that weep and wind,
It was leading me to you—
It was you I was meant to find.
You brought me bread and wine,
Said, "Leave your worries behind;
Let all those troubles wash away
When you look into my eyes."
I let it go,
Let my heart ring out,
Knew what it was all about:
It was you I've been looking for—
I don't need nothing more;
My heart is yours.
By God, I was sure
You're the one, the only one,
The one I was meant to find.
Now, I'll spend my whole life
Searching, turning
Every stone I can find,
Looking for the one that broke my heart
And took my mind.
I'll gladly endure this pain forevermore;
It's all right, o' my love
Even if you don't realize.
