The Wanderer
Broussard Marc Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dance for me sweetheart while I strum my guitar,
You sure look pretty tonight,
I've just come off the road and I could use the company,
That would suit me just fine

Now I've seen a lot of special things around this world,
You can see them too, you can,
What's that you ask?

I have no name I have no name,
For I am known only as man,
I am known only as man

I'm a wanderer,
I have no place or time,
I'm just drifting on this lonely road of mine,
If you like you can come along with me,
But I promise you that I am not the man I used to be

Now you and I we've seen our share of ups and downs,
Somewhere we just lost hope,
I can't change the past but who cares?
Your love is all I've ever known,
Your love is all I've ever known

I'm a wanderer,
I have no place or time,
I'm just drifting on this lonely road of mine,
And if you would accept me for me,
Then I promise you that there's a better man inside of me
Then I promise you that there's a better man inside of me
Then I promise you that there's a better man inside of me

Dance for me sweetheart while I strum my guitar,
You sure look pretty tonight
