When I Wander Lyrics by Sara Vicemore

Safe House

2021

[Verse 1]

You and I, we wandered
Side by side each day
And the watchful eye we’re under
Hooked us in its gaze

It followed as wandered
And marveled at the weight
Of the love we had discovered
And carried strong each day

[Verse 2]

It would watch us wander
And we would captivate
Its curious attention
And its dilating claim

Upon us as we wandered
From its hidden place
Then wept a sorry tear when you
Vanished from my planе

The days went all the samе
Bent you out of shape
In all the ways I'd feared


[Bridge]

I go into my house now
Water glass in hand
Sit at my silent table
And work to understand

I drift around to find you
Barefoot in the hall
Past our sweetest memories
That decorate my walls

Now to the furthest chamber
That as of yet I’ve found
Where I pray you’ve left a flower
I may put in the ground

A jewel inside its center
A stamen made of stars
To pollinate this darkened sky
That shadows up my heart

Show me truth in shapes and sounds
That I can understand
Show to me the light you’ve come to hold
Between your hands

Illuminate this desert, black
In blue and violet
[Let] me know now that forever
You are always by my side

Always by my side

[Verse 3]

I rise now from the table
Make my way outside
This city’s lit to bits
But still the dark will spill its night

(Make my way outside)

[Verse 4]

You’ll call out in the thunder
In the loudest booms
I’ll likely miss your signs
And beg to see you in my room

[Verse 5]

Now you watch me wander
From your unseen place
And the fragile state i’m under
Is no match for your grace

You’ll wait until it’s quiet
With all the house lights on
And face me in your figureless embrace

Only with you here
Will I begin to move along
