[Intro]

      

            

[Verse]

         
  It was an Ap

            
ril morning wh

              
en they told u

  
s we should go

 
          
  As I turn to

           
 you, you smil

       
ed at me 
    
How could we s

ay no? 
         
  With all the

            
 fun to have, 

            
to live the dr


eams we always

 had 
       
   Oh, the son

              
gs to sing, wh

         
en we at last 

return again 

[Bridge]

     

[Verse]

         
   Sending off

            
 a glancing ki

              
ss, to those w

   
ho claim they 

know 
         
   Below the s

            
treets that st

              
eam and hiss, 

            
the devil's in


 his hole 
       
   Oh to sail 

              
away, To sandy

 
 lands and oth

er days 
       
   Oh to touch

              
 the dream, Hi

    
des inside and

 never seen. 

[Bridge]

          
          

          
          

     

[Verse]

         
   Into the su

            
n the south th

              
e north, at la

   
st the birds h

ave flown 
         
   The shackle

            
s of commitmen

              
t fell, In pie

    
ces on the gro

und 
       
   Oh to ride 

              
the wind, To t

         
read the air a

bove the din 
       
   Oh to laugh

              
 aloud, Dancin

  
g as we fought

 the crowd 

[Bridge]

     

[Verse]

         
  To seek the 

            
man whose poin

              
ting hand, The

       
 giant step un

folds 
            
  With guidanc

         
e from the cur

              
ving path, Tha

            
t churns up in


to stone 
       
   If one bell

              
 should ring, 

              
in celebration

 
 for a king 
       
   So fast the

              
 heart should 

              
beat, As proud

              
 the head with

 
 heavy feet. 

[Bridge]

          
          
          
          

[Solo]

          
          
          
          
              
              
          
          
          
          
              
              
          
          

[Verse]

         
   Days went b

            
y when you and

              
 I, bathed in 

        
eternal summer

s glow 
         
   As far away

            
 and distant, 

           
Our mutual chi

   Oh the swee

pain 
       
   Oh Albion r

[Bridge]

     

       
Wandering & wa

              
ndering, What
