“Wherever I May Roam” lyrics and music by Marc Gunn

Performed by Marc Gunn
From CD: St Patrick’s Day Songs For Kids

In younger days I used to wander
Thru the lonely lanes of life
Spun out of control, dizzy and alone
Nothing running right

* Now I have love inside me
Wherever I may roam
I have my family beside me
I'm never alone

I turned my back on dissonance
Struck a new chord and hit it twice
Raced towards the sun and a new world begun
And then I met my wife

Ate fish and chips on the streets of London
Savored Abita in New Orleans
Walked in cold rain of Galway town
She was prettier than a dream

Music alone was my one companion
But songs alone have no melody
Now there's adventure and love in my life
And then the cries of our baby
