Vagabond (live, La Cana, Tokyo, Japan, 2008)

lyrics

Quitting’s something I can't understand
And moving out’s a threat it's not your hand
You've broken me in every other way
I'm damned if you leave or if you stay

So what's it going to be vagabond?
What's it going to be Vagabond?

Serving smiles is what I do all day
I called you but the phone just rang away
I pictured all your things packed up in bags
I wondered if you'd leave the photographs

So what's it going to be vagabond?
You're very fond to leave but never gone
Is it you or is it me moving on?
I say what's it going to be Vagabond?

The holidays come lurching like a ghost
Do you remember fighting at my folks'?
I swore another year would not go by
I couldn't have told you a bigger pack of lies
I couldn't have told one bigger pack of lies

So give me something real vagabond
You're very fond to leave but never gone
Is it you or is it me moving on?
What's it going to be vagabond, vagabond, vagabond?

about

Willie Wisely Saint Paul, Minnesota

Equal parts Minnesotan music scene veteran and Laurel Canyon resident/devotee, Willie Wisely remains that rare bird mixing profound power pop with arena-sized showmanship, a troubadour on an all night rave up, a cold kombucha on a hot California day, a McCartney-ite taking a break from his Japanese import of “Ram” for a quick Canyon run listening to João Gilberto. ... more
