Frank Turner - Wanderlust Lyrics

I have wept until I slept into the lap of the lady that I love,
And though she begged and she cajoled
I couldn't tell her what I was thinking of.
I didn't choose, no I was chosen by a life
That must be lived in passing through,
And though she's changed so much for me,
Changing this is the one thing I cannot do.

Darling, I'm leaving, the distance keeps calling me on.
Darling, come morning I'll be gone.

She is beauty, she is graceful in her poise, and she is gentle in her care.
She is the calm within the center of my storm,
She is her fingers through my hair.
She has my heart but it is breaking,
Cause it knows that deep inside she still believes
That there will ever come a morning when I'm staying,
And not gathering to leave.

Darling, I'm leaving, the distance keeps calling me on.
Darling, come morning I'll be gone.

Baby let's get out of the city, we need to breathe some cleaner air.
That creeping feeling's starting, like I miss you,
Though we're both of us still here.
There's a sadness in your smiles now,
And an edge of desperation in your voice.
We have all this independence
But it still feels like we never had a choice.

Darling, I'm leaving.
