I, I wandered into this town I thought that I'd found a place I could rest and slow down Oh, but when my feet hit the ground, well I knew I wrong, I would have to move on
I, oh I can't stay for long Oh no soon I'll be gone, oh I got to move on I, I'm destined to be a shadow, a postcard, a kiss in the breeze
Cos I'm a transient being I'm doin' and seein' as much as I can I feel most at home When I'm on the road When I'm on my own
So before you kiss me You must promise and keep this promise that you won't miss me I, I got to pack up my things It's time that I hit the road It's time that I spread my wings
I'll give you the room that you need To make this place your own space to grow and to breathe I, oh I've got to wander My heart has gone yonder, my soul has gone free
I'm a transient being I'm doin' and seein' as much as I can I feel most at home When I'm on the road When I'm on my own
This bird has flown I've found my home This bird has flown I've found my home This bird has flown I've found my home In me
