Restless and Wandering

So many miles through desert sage,  
So many mistakes I’ve made
I stop for shade and see her wave
A face that’s hard and lined, With stories, roads, and time
But her eyes shine Into mine
In another time with a  different start, Where the heavens part
We shared a heart
She never spoke a word, But in my mind I heard
All she’d endured

You are not the only one whose lost
Yours is not the only heart feels pain
We’ve walked together on countless rainy nights
Restless and wandering in the rain
Restless and wandering again

For a hundred miles or more, I saw the smile she wore
Like an open door, To a distant shore
When I stopped again to rest, With a beating chest
I tried my best, To find a test
I saw another man, Beside a garbage can
His stained hands, Like mottled sand
And as he looked at me, So calm and carefully
My eyes could see, and he said

You are not the only one whose lost
Yours is not the only heart feels pain
We’ve walked together on countless rainy nights
Restless and wandering in the rain
Restless and wandering again

Now everyone I meet, on every forgotten street
I feel their hearts beat, with noble heat
The countless times they’ve tried, the tears of rage they’ve cried
The love that’s died, deep inside

We all are heaven bound, this is our proving ground
The life chose, when the wheel came round
I believe in eternity and chosen destiny
And I’ll help you if you help me

You are not the only one whose lost
Yours is not the only heart feels pain
We’ve walked together on countless rainy nights
Restless and wandering in the rain
Restless and wandering again
