The Wanderer Lyrics

I went out walkin' Through streets paved with gold Lifted some stones saw the skin and bones Of a city without a soul I went out walkin' under an atomic sky Where the ground won't turn and the rain it burns Like the tears when I said goodbye
Yeah I went with nothin' Nothin' but the thought of you I went wandering
I went drifting through the capitals of tin Where men can't walk or freely talk And sons turn their fathers in I stopped outside a church house Where the citizens like to sit They say, "They want the kingdom" But they don't want God in it
I went out ridin' down that old eight lane I passed by a thousand signs Lookin' for my own name
I went with nothin' But the thought you'd be there too [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/the-wanderer-lyrics-u2.html ] Lookin' for you
I went out there in search of experience To taste and to touch and to feel as much As a man can before he repents
I went out searching Lookin' for one good man A spirit who would not bend or break Who would sit at his father's right hand I went out walkin' with a Bible and a gun The word of God lay heavy on my heart I was sure I was the one
Now Jesus, don't you wait up Jesus, I'll be home soon Yeah I went out for the papers, told her, I'd be back by noon
Yeah I left with nothin' But the thought you'd be there too Lookin' for you
Yeah I left with nothin' Nothin' but the thought of you I went wanderin'
