lyrics

All spirits of the lyric world
Paint pictures of a flying bird
Soaring high but traveling alone
A railroad line a dark highway
The promise they must leave some day
A path only the angels could have shown

And I'll admit I’ve felt the call
To cut my ties and leave it all - behind
In hopes of some romantic dream
And in my mind before too long
I’d stumble by the tower of song
Illuminated by some bright star's beam

Oh cause I've got the soul of a nomad
And it's telling me, running free's the only way
But I've got the heart of a lover and it's drawn to you
Tells me to stay here another day

I've done my best trying to explain
It only added to the pain
Of those I love and those who wonder why
I turned the key and closed the door
I'm not in search of something more
Just something that I never dared to try

Oh cause I've got the soul of a nomad...

A soft goodbye a silent vow
Is all that I can offer now
Is that enough? I don't know anymore

Oh cause I've got the soul of a nomad...
