Song of My Returning Phil Ochs

[Verse 1]
The wild geese are dancing in the ripples of the morn
My wanderlust is born
I've got to follow them wherever they may lead
For I am just a sailor on a ship across the land
Let me hold your hand
To bid farewell so I cannot go to my knees

[Chorus]
But I'll be back again no matter where I'll go
For it's only love that frees the fire for burning
Then I'll take you in my arms and tell you all I know
As I sing the early song of my returning

[Verse 2]
The weary world is waiting for ambitions to be played
Now young and not afraid
I've got to challenge every chalice that I know
My eager ears are listening for the singing of the sign
Deeper are the lines
Upon the face that finds reflections in the road

[Chorus]
Yes, I'll be back again no matter where I go
For it's only love that frees the fire for burning
Then I'll take you in my arms and tell you all I know
As I sing the changing songs of my returning
