NOTES: This is probably my favorite of all the older songs I've written. I sing the chorus differently than the original, and I'd like to get a live recording of the tune to catch the new lyrics.

Standard tuning

I am wandering traveler, my journeys they are long
I read the stories of this life, in music and in song
And sometimes out upon the road, and sometimes in the sky
I look before what I will find, to see if I can try

To find the footsteps of the one, who's maybe gone before
Or maybe follows now behind, in wisdom and in lore
And someday maybe we will meet, upon a sunny day
Strangers will familiar brands, walking in the way

Lady won't you walk with me
Down along the river, to a cold, dark sea
Between the cradle and my grave, are years that won't be saved
So lady, won't you walk with me

Now some will dance on wings of gold, and others take a fall
Some get by on feet of clay, some don't dance at all
The turnings of the spinning ones, the circle of the moon
All wind the seasons 'round again, and play a pipers tune

And upwards from the sea they come, answering the call
Life upon its final run, beginning of us all

Lady won't you walk with me
Down along the river, to a wine dark sea
Between the cradle and my grave, are years that won't be saved
So lady, won't you walk with me

I am a wandering traveler, my journeys they are long
I read the stories of this life in music and in song
And so now for the time we have, think upon the day
When as strangers with familiar brands, we'll meet along the way

Lady won't you walk with me
Down along the river, to a wine dark sea
Between the cradle and my grave, are years that won't be saved
So lady, won't you walk with me
