Wanderers -andy casson

[andy casson]

Discovered this one on the dodgy VHS from 87/88. I have had to re-work the lyrics as I cannot work out what I am singing for most of the verses, and the original would be in a lost lyrics book!
I have a soft spot for this song, even though it's very different from my usual sound & feel, more than a nod to 'the Forest'
Enjoy

Recorded to Sonar via EMU1616, 4 sonar soft synths, 1 bass track, 1 tele track, 3 vocal tracks

The Wanderers
Written by Andy Casson c.1987

Passing time chasing my dreams away
First light, and it's time to meet the day
Gone down, I'm sold out, I'm caught in this change
A Broken town brings me down,  covers this pain

We're keen to be there on the stage
Same excuse to see what the papers say today
Call out, and they mutter and they pray
Making heroes while the world is lost in pain

Your time, my time

Hours pass and the papers mark your face
Hour glass marks the challenge of the day
We walk through worn out places, with heart and grace
We love to watch their faces, wanderers in space

Ig you're lost we have a place you can stay
Time is past, take a journey, start today
Gather pieces, build a shelter on a plain
We are the wanderers, the wanderers, the wanderers....
