Time to Wander
Gypsy & The Cat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Falling through a simple world
Nothing here to call my own
Searching on for something sweet to savor
I'm parting seas away from view
When it's time to walk a line I'll find a destiny
I'm free from time I've lost my mind
Goodbye now don't wave to me
Time to wander
Now I'm gone never here
When you look nothing near
Will you wonder
Now I'm gone never here
When you look nothing near
And I wonder, I wonder

Rolling through the rocky bend
Will the journey ever end
Try'na find the missing puzzle under
Thunderclouds and desert streets
When you fly a lonely sky the view is far too sweet
I'm like a bird I sing from hurt
Spread your wings and glide to me

Time to wander
Now I'm gone never here
When you look nothing near
Will you wonder
Now I'm gone never here
When you look nothing near
And I wonder, I wonder

Time to wander
Now I'm gone never here
When you look nothing near
Will you wonder
Now I'm gone never here
When you look nothing near
And I wonder, I wonder

Will you wonder
Now I'm gone never here




When you look nothing near
And I wonder, I wonder
