Wandering Spirit Lyrics

Wandering Spirit lyrics

When all the twelve Apostles try to ring me on the phone

Take a message but I won't return their call

For I have no eyes to see him and I thought I lost my way

And I know I've lost the keys to your door 



And I climbed the highest mountain and I looked down on the sea

And I saw a ship a-sail to the shore

I took a passage to the East and I journeyed to the West

I made love from Battambang to Baltimore 



I said, oh, am I running in a race

I said, oh, am I getting anyplace

I said, oh, can I make it 



I'm a wandering spirit

I'm a wandering spirit

I'm a wandering spirit

I'm a wandering spirit, yes I am a restless soul

I'm a wandering spirit, there's no place that I can call my own 



I was a glutton at the banquet and I spilt the finest wine

Trod the pyramids and ruins of Angkor

I kissed the Mona Lisa and I breakfasted with kings

And I touched the nerves of nature in the raw 



I said, oh, am I running in a race

I said, oh, take that smile right off your face

I said, oh, I can't make it 



I'm a wandering spirit

I'm a wandering spirit

I'm a wandering spirit, no escape, no parole

I'm a wandering spirit

I'm a wandering spirit

I'm a wandering spirit, there's no place that

I can call my home 



I said, oh, am I running in a race

I said, oh, take that smile right off your face

I said, oh, I can't make it 



I'm a wandering spirit

I'm a wandering spirit

I'm a wandering spirit, looking for a place to go 



I'm a wandering spirit

I'm a wandering spirit

I'm a wandering spirit, no escape, no parole

I'm a wandering spirit, I'm a lost and lonely soul
