lyrics

They say you can never just pack up and leave
Shed your skin be reborn we're not all what we seem to be
Tack a note to the door as you close it up tight
You can't be quite sure where you'll spend the night

Lay in the dew where the shadows are cast,
Go vagabonding at last!

A summery soldier, moved to extremes
Come on and find out yourself just what this means as you
Give of your time and receive in return
Old lessons forgotten as new ones are learned

Come walk for a while ‘cause the trains move to fast...
Simplification at last!

Money, it weighs too much, go on forget it a while!
Pennies won't serve you like pilgrims with generous smiles...

Your luggage you lost at the last trading post
But you've still got the clothes on your back, come on and toast with me!
"Bring on the fountains and rivers and sands!"
The best things in life are all free from demands...

Tear up your sails and break down your mast
Go vagabonding at last!

And summer so deepens and ripens to gold
The autumn approaches or so I am told
And the stars are aligned, the augurs declare
"The timing is now, not a moment to spare"

From slumber awaken! The rushing winds pass...
Come vagabonding at last!

The path may lead straight but don't be so surprised if it curves
Burn your itinerary if you think you've got the nerve...

Join me you outcasts from cities so fair
Take off your clothes and let down your hair
Head for the hills, it's a long dusty road
It's easier when your possessions are sold

Come now and greet me I'm within your grasp...
Come vagabonding at last!
