Stuck in this town
With nothing and no one around.
Little prospect for love now.
I’ve got to burn these lonesome feelings down.
Oh, burn them down.
I know what they say is true:
“Gloom ain’t an attractive point of view”
“No one wants little boy blue”
But I just don’t know what I’m supposed to do, so I
Blame the tramping, the nomad, the road.
It’s easier to blame the road than admit I’m flawed.
Easier to blame the journeys through foreign countries
Than fix all these glaring mistakes
I picked up along the way.
Oh, but really now, they’re my mistakes.
Hitchhiked my way to Voss
With a tent and a stranger, one last pair of socks,
Second-hand curtains for blankets we found in an abandoned box—
among indecipherable signs and sidewalks, I
I never felt lost.
Now I’m constantly itching to go
To where and to whom I don’t know.
Fernweh is status quo.
Oh, I am yearning to blow this town, and
Blame the tramping, the nomad, the road.
It’s easier to blame the road that admit I’m flawed.
Easier to blame the journey through foreign countries
Than fix all these glaring mistakes, I
Blame the tramping, the nomad, the road.
It’s easier to blame the road that admit I’m flawed.
Easier to blame the journeys through foreign countries
Than fix these mistakes
I picked up along the way.
Oh, they’re my mistakes.
