Colin Hay Wayfaring Sons Lyrics

Wayfaring Sons Lyrics

don't go out in the night

even though you know the town

someone
always wants to fight

you end up lying on the ground

i dream of
lying in the sun

in my ears hear the ocean roaring

like all good
wayfaring sons

i traveled home

and the rain is pouring

soaks
me to my skin

i duck into this public house

get shattered by the
din



i sailed across the sea

my family and me

i never
knew if i'd return

but in my memory i learned

so here we are once
again

with my friends and the whiskey's flowing

and as the cold
night air descends

i drift away

and my mind it wanders

back
to southern skies

i call myself a fool

i hope i wake a realize



???? are better than ????

some people they get ???maimed???

yes, round the world i've been

no two places are the same

i dream
of lying in the sun

in my ears hear the ocean roaring

like all good
wayfaring sons

i traveled home with some more good stories

i build
them up through time

they'll all become a pack of lies

when i'm
beyond my prime
