I, I wandered into this town
I thought that I'd found a place I could rest and slow down
Oh, but when my feet hit the ground, well
I knew I wrong, I would have to move on

I, oh I can't stay for long
Oh no soon I'll be gone, oh I got to move on
I, I'm destined to be a shadow, a postcard, a kiss in the breeze

Cos I'm a transient being
I'm doin' and seein' as much as I can
I feel most at home
When I'm on the road
When I'm on my own

So before you kiss me
You must promise and keep this promise that you won't miss me
I, I got to pack up my things
It's time that I hit the road
It's time that I spread my wings

I'll give you the room that you need
To make this place your own space to grow and to breathe
I, oh I've got to wander
My heart has gone yonder, my soul has gone free

I'm a transient being
I'm doin' and seein' as much as I can
I feel most at home
When I'm on the road
When I'm on my own

This bird has flown I've found my home
This bird has flown I've found my home
This bird has flown I've found my home
In me
