Read my disclaimer.
The hills were my home
'til I started to roam
the four winds and the seven seas.
My love and I would sing song
'til the moon grew pale.
We vowed and said someday we'd wed
in the church in the vale.
A train came to town
and a stranger stepped down
a smilin' so my love could see.
She answered his smile
and then after a while
the only stranger there was me.
And that is why my heart and I
follow every breeze.
You ask where I live
here's the address I give
the four winds and the seven seas.
The four winds and the seven seas.
The four winds and the seven seas. — Hal David

"Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving." — Tiffany Aching, A Hat Full of Sky, Terry Pratchett |

I've a pretty Seniorita waiting for me
Down in old Mexico
If you're ever in Alaska stop and see
My cute little Eskimo
Oh my sweet Fraulien down in Berlin town
Makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong
Waits for my return
Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea
I remember the night
When we walked in the sands of the Waikiki
And I held you oh so tight
Oh my sweet Fraulien down in Berlin town
Makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong
Waits for my return
Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea
I remember the night
When we walked in the sands of the Waikiki
And I held you oh so tight
Oh, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man — Jerry Fuller
