Home has been so many roads/ That I walk down in my sleeping/ Here with you I’m home at last/ But it’s not home for my keeping/ You won’t miss me when I’m gone/ This isn’t my place/ And my loves are few and don’t belong/ To any one lover’s face./ So don’t ask me where I’ll go/ If you do I will lie to you/ But I’ll tell you of the place that is never my home/ Where I’ve lived all my life/ Where I sing/ A wishwanderer’s song. — VASHTI BUNYAN
