Wandering Soul

WANDERING SOUL

Oh wandering soul
Come lay here by my side
Hold me close and keep me warm
For the night is long and hard
Smile for me and let me know
You listen to my words
Hold my hand and stroke my hair
Let me know you care
Smile for me and let me know
You're happy that i'm here
Make me laugh to ease the pain
Of still another year
Alone, so alone
Alone, so alone


I had someone long ago
But she went away
Now i've got no one to love me
I get more lonely everyday
But if you want to stay with me
Just do me one favor
Bring me up slowly

It seems i've been down so long
I don't know why i go on
I keep lookin' for a way to stand up
But i've waited for so long
And if you want to stay with me
Just do me one favor
Bring me up slowly

Let me sing for you
And tell you of my life
I've had lots of good times
Seems i only remember the strife
But if you still want to stay with me
Just do me one favor
Bring me up slowly

Please don't make it easy
For me to lose my blues
It's worth a little struggle
Just to love somebody like you
I need you to love me
Just reach out your hand
Bing me up slowly

Oh wandering soul come lay here by my side...

1989!  I'm not the only one rummaging through the vault!

There's almost a Doors-meets-Santana feel through the uptempo parts.

I really like these lines:

Please don't make it easy
For me to lose my blues
It's worth a little struggle
Just to love somebody like you
