the wanderer

I waited all day for you and then I waited all night it was worth the wait you made everything all right before you came along the words didn't come easy to me and now I see you in everything the world became my dictionary wistful beauty graceful humility you have a way of moving the things around you seem to fade I could see you coming from miles away just from the way the earth shakes the way the air trembles from the electricity you make but you don't know it you can't see everything that you do to me you walk around like a greasy fingered kid leaving your mark wherever you've been my heart is a crime scene you are the evidence I used to be lost and now I just wander where are you? I'm coming my dear don't you know? I am always on my way if I am not already here the scared lost child has grown turned into a wanderer with no place to go and there's nothing left for me to do but search the skies for signs of you will you be my home? will you be my warm place to sleep? will you be the roof over my head? will you be the shoes on my feet? even a nomad must lay down roots all I can ask for is the truth just please don't forget me let me take up residence inside your mind a place I belong will finally be mine a lost little child grown a wanderer who now has a home
