come nightfall

my gypsy soul is restless
where, for a long time
there has been no reason
wanderlust is now the driving force
time for new horizons
sunrises and sunsets
stars in unfamiliar skies
flowers and trees
mountains and valleys

come nightfall
where will i lay my head
come nightfall
will i even have a bed
come nightfall
praying for arms to hold me tight
come nightfall
let there be someone to make it all alright

been travelling alone too long
traversing highways and byways
setting down solitary roots
building impenetrable walls
blown where the wind willed
ignoring all opportunities
to break free from self exile
life wasn't something i did
it was just what happened to me
time now to take control
go where i want to go
see what i need to see
do what i must do

come nightfall
where will i lay my head
come nightfall
will i even have a bed
come nightfall
praying for arms to hold me tight
come nightfall
let there be someone to make it all alright

my heart calls for you
with a song i hope you can hear
infinite joy is expressed
for the day our paths cross
my gypsy soul is seeking
searching you out of the crowds
looking at each face
with real anticipation
my love is waiting to explode
deep deep inside
overflowing with desires
long overdue for release

come nightfall
where will i lay my head
come nightfall
will i even have a bed
come nightfall
praying for your arms to hold me tight
come nightfall
let it be you that will make it all alright
