lyrics by Benjamin Newman

ttto: "Still Another Wanderer" by Timothy Pinkham, from The Battle for Wesnoth

listen to this song

/ Em G D Em / - G D - / 1st / C D Em - /

 

Wandering far, wandering free

Over the restless earth

The wandering wind is beckoning me

Home to the land of my birth

 

Far have ye marched, my wandering feet

In time to the drums of war

Follow ye now a welcoming beat

Never to roam any more

 

/ Em C G D Em, G D - / C - D - / A ~ - - /

 

Yet, be ye a man or an elf or a dwarf, a troll or an orc

You will come, you will answer the call of the drum

 

From whispering wood to desolate heath

Across the bare, wind-swept sands

Over the mountains or underneath

Through all of these war-troubled lands

 

Somewhere there walks a soldier like me

Who knows his own wayward will

Must answer the drums that call him to be

Ever a wanderer still
