about

The life of a wandering bard, the solitude of the road and the constant companionship of music. Another older tune given new audio treatment and a few more years of experience.

lyrics

I got up this morning, drunk with the dawn,
And worn as the floor I was lying upon
Been in this town for I don't know how long
Courting my fate with the lady of song

Once I was starving and sang for my bread
I have gone hungry a few times since then.
Yesterday's gone, and tomorrow's unseen
And home is someplace on the road in between

Home again, home again, far from this place,
With no past to escape and no phantoms to chase,
Home again, home again, that's where I'll be
Somewhere the lady of song can find me.

Fortune would follow, or so I was told,
Here where they pay you your sorrows in gold
And you sleep by a fire, but you wake in the cold,
And the sound of your voice in your head grows so old
You can sing for your supper with princes and kings,
And they wrap you in satins and velvets and rings,
And they'll give you a place to put all of your things
And a ransom in diamonds to weigh down your wings

And those pretty young lads, they will lean in your ear
And they'll sing to you sweetly when no one is near
But whenever the morning comes, finding them gone,
I will turn to the arms of my lady of song

For she sighs to the strings of my harp when I weep
And she cradles me close on the stones where I sleep
She carries the secrets too heavy to keep
And she'll meet me out there on the road in between
Home again, home again, that's where I'll go
To a hearth made of stars and a floor made of snow
Home again, home again, where I belong
Where nobody lives but the lady of song.
Home again, home again, where I belong
Walking the road with the lady of song.
