once there was sunlight once there was slumber and between their shores i d row now i sit stranded with broken paddles in a sea of strangled hope i still remember i tried forgetting your face in a rocking chair we talked in circles til we went spinning and were thrown into the air i hope you wander i hope you stray i wish you never had gone away i hope you wander i hope you stray i hope you wander back to me someday i never thought that we d reach our parting with hearts so young and bold we walked through shadows like open prairies as if all our blues were gold we made our meetings down by the water and there we d spend our days til in the form of someone other there came a crashing wave i hope you wander i hope you stray i wish you never had gone away i hope you wander i hope you stray i hope you wander back to me someday let there be daylight let there be darkness in between a great divide well you go your way and me i ll go my way each one to their side and so your face never leaves my mind your name never cross my lips my heart in anguish my tongue in silence forever hypocrites i hope you wander i hope you stray i wish you never had gone away i hope you wander i hope you stray i hope you wander back to me someday
