lyrics

And If There Come The Singers

There’s a city by the river
I can call it home, my home
All where I am going
I’m searching, I’m searching for my home
A vagabond’s dream is to build a house of stone
With roses on the porch growing
And the children playing

And if there come the singers
And if there come the dancers
And if there come the players
But of their gifts also
For they, too, are gatherers
And that which they bring
Though fashioned of dreams
Is food for the soul

I’m as free as a bird
A slave, but a slave to the world
Happiness is with me
I promise to know sadness too
Did you ever know the sun
Kiss the street after the rain
Did you ever know beauty
Come again, again and again?

And I said, “the street was dead
It had sucked, it had sucked out my blood”
Oh, was I so tired, so tired
Trusting too much in my luck
There were always roses on the porch
Strawberries for tea
Always children playing in the
Vagabond’s dream
