Broken Paddles Lyrics by Joseph Huber

The Hanging Road

2014

[Verse 1]
Once there was sunlight, once there was slumber
And between their shores I'd row
Now I sit stranded with broken paddles
In a sea of strangled hope
I still remember, I tried forgetting
Your face in a rocking chair
We talked in circles 'til we went spinning
And were thrown into the air
[Chorus]
I hope you wander, I hope you stray
I wish you never had gone away
I hope you wander, I hope you stray
I hope you wander back to me someday
[Verse 2]
I never thought that we'd reach our parting
With hearts so young and bold
We walked through shadows like open prairies
As if all our blues were gold
We made our meetings down by the water
And there we'd spend our days
'Til in the form of someone other
There came a crashing wave
[Chorus]
I hope you wander, I hope you stray
I wish you never had gone away
I hope you wander, I hope you stray
I hope you wander back to me someday
[Verse 3]
Let there be daylight, let there be darkness
In between a great divide
Well, you go your way and me, I'll go my way
Each one to their side
And so your face never leaves my mind
Your name never cross my lips
My heart in anguish, my tongue in silence
Forever hypocrites
[Chorus]
I hope you wander, I hope you stray
I wish you never had gone away
I hope you wander, I hope you stray
I hope you wander back to me someday
