Wherever I May Roam Lyrics

Artist(Band):Metallica

(And the road becomes my bride)

And the road becomes my bride

I have stripped of all but pride

So in her I do confide

And she keeps me satisfied

Gives me all I need

And with dust in throat I crave

Only knowledge will I save

To the game you stay a slave

Rover, wanderer

Nomad, vagabond

Call me what you will

But I'll take my time anywhere

Free to speak my mind anywhere

And I'll redefine anywhere

Anywhere I roam

Where I lay my head is home

(And the earth becomes my throne)

And the earth becomes my throne

I adapt to the unknown

Under wandering stars I've grown

By myself but not alone

I ask no one

And my ties are severed clean

Less I have the more I gain

Off the beaten path I reign

Rover, wanderer

Nomad, vagabond

Call me what you will

Yeah, you wi-i-i-ill

But I'll take my time anywhere

I'm free to speak my mind anywhere

and I'll take my time anywhere

Anywhere I roam

Where I lay my head is home

heh-yeah

But I'll take my time anywhere

I'm free to speak my mind

And I'll take my time anywhere

Anywhere I may roam

Where I lay my head is home

That's right

But I'll take my time anywhere

I'm free to speak my mind anywhere

And I'll redefine anywhere

Anywhere I may roam

Where I lay my head is home

Carved upon my stone

My body lies, but still I roam,

Yeah yeah!

Wherever I may roam

Wherever I may roam

Woah

Wherever I may roam

Wherever I may roam

Yeah!

Wherever I may wander, wander, wander

Wherever I may roam

Yeah, yeah, wherever I may roam

Yeah, yeah, wherever I may roam

Wherever I may roam

Wherever I may roam

Odysseus Song

try the Cream, Tales of Great Ulysses (same person, different name)

You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever,

But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun.

And the colors of the sea blind your eyes with trembling mermaids,

And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses

How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing,

For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white laced lips.

And you see a girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise,

And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea.

And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body,

Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind.

The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers,

And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.

Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell,

And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands

With tales of brave Ulysses; how his naked ears were tortured

By the sirens sweetly singing.

The tiny purple fishes run lauging through your fingers,

And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.

Change plane to trireme, taxi to chariot, guitar to lyre

John Denver's Leaving on a Jet Plane

All my bags are packed I'm ready to go

I'm standin' here outside your door

I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn

The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn

Already I'm so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me

Hold me like you'll never let me go

Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again

Oh babe, I hate to go

There's so many times I've let you down

So many times I've played around

I tell you now, they don't mean a thing

Every place I go, I'll think of you

Every song I sing, I'll sing for you

When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me

Hold me like you'll never let me go

Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again

Oh babe, I hate to go

Guitar Solo

Now the time has come to leave you

One more time let me kiss you

Close your eyes I'll be on my way

Dream about the days to come

When I won't have to leave alone

About the times, I won't have to say

So kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me

Hold me like you'll never let me go

Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again

Oh baby, I hate to go

Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again

Oh babe, I hate to go

Row, row, row your boat...
