‘Journeyman’ - by Emily Howard
The first time that I met you,
You didn’t know where you were going to,
You’d travelled so far, all by yourself,
And your feet were tired of walking.
I held you in my arms for a while,
And I thought I saw you smile,
I felt a hand reach up and touch my face,
And you said Journeyman, that’s my name!
Chorus: Journeyman, Journeyman, Journeyman, Journeyman,
Keep on walking.
I took you in and I made you warm,
I gave you shelter from your storm,
I cooked you food and I shared my bed,
Well look where those actions led.
Chorus
Keep on walking
You stayed a while and you made me smile,
I grew dependent on you,
You said hey babe, I can’t be here forever,
I’ve got other places I’m going to.
Chorus
Where are you going to? Where are you going to? Where have you gone?
Journeyman______
You could go anywhere, you could sail the sea,
Could’ve had anyone, why pick me?
Put my trust in you and trusted in your lies and,
Now your gone well, I’m not surprised.
Journeyman
Journeyman
I begged you please let me go with you,
Could’ve been your journeywoman,
You said ‘Oh babe how I’d love you to,
But these places aren’t for girls like you.
Chorus
I’ll always love you,
Journeyman.
