Terry Farmer - Wayward Way Lyrics

I was born with my eyes shut
Nary a tear or a whimper
With her soft lips still my Momma soothed me
Soothed my soul on my wayward way

Love can last and love can linger
Love can rain down on the world
Love will fail and love will leave you
That's a sure thing all
That's a sure thing all

Wayward way it's a wayward way
Still my Momma soothes me
On my wayward way

Oh, the blond-haired bonny
And the one-note Johnny
Come to make a killing
And lead us on so willing
To a house of cards in a book of dreams
And the comfort there isn't all it seems

Wayward way it's a wayward way
Still my Momma soothes me
On my wayward way

Take me to your dreams and to your garden
Take me in your arms and show me on and on
Oh love it isn't wasted on the living
Soothe my soul, soothe my soul

I need love
I need breath
I need a song in the key of life and a peaceful death
I need money and I need time
I need to walk on the razor's edge and a ladder to climb

On my wayward way it's a wayward way
Still my Momma soothes me
On my wayward way
Still my Momma soothes me
On my wayward way
Still my Momma soothes me
On my wayward way
