Wanderlust Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Big black cloud
On a yellow plane
Sure enough it
Looks like rain
Packin' up all our
Faith and trust
Me and the wanderlust

[Verse 2]
Open window
Empty bed and chair
Who's that callin'
Ain't nobody there
I look behind me
And I see there's just
Me and the wanderlust

[Verse 3]
Dead of night
I had a dream
Sky was bright yes and the
Fields were green
It was down the road
In a cloud of dust
Me and the wanderlust
[Verse 4]
And I'm on the edge
Of an endless fall
Sure enough
He's come to call
Got to go now
Get on that bus
Me and the wanderlust

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
