Heather Alexander - Wanderlust lyrics

My time is up and the ship bell chimes So raise the cup and think betimes Of this poor sailor 'pon the sea Whose pa**ing is but memory 'Tis not that I would have you think Of this but as a friendly drink For with my heart I loved you truly Though I'm forced to treat you cruelly For the fever's upon me And the Captain is calling I cannot stay with thee My destiny's calling I'll never be free, but I do what I must A captive of my wanderlust The tide is turned and so we sail This brief sojourn has now grown stale The wanderlust has me, indeed I care not where my travels lead The captain asks if I'm a-feared A smile tangled in his beard His laughter tells me he must know The pain that I now undergo For the fever's upon me And the Captain is calling I cannot stay with thee My destiny's calling I'll never be free, but I do what I must A captive of my wanderlust I cast my fate into the wind I have no mate, nor kith, nor kin For I must go where I am sent A victim of self-banishment Orion has become my guide And Venus is my willing bride With wanderlust my fuel and feed I roam the world as 'tis decreed For the fever's upon me And the Captain is calling I cannot stay with thee My destiny's calling I'll never be free, but I do what I must A captive of my wanderlust For the fever's upon me And the Captain is calling I cannot stay with thee My destiny's calling I'll never be free, but I do what I must A captive of my wanderlust
