Claude François

The vagabond (Audio)

From town to town I wander through the years
I sing my songs of life and love and tears
I walk with fools, but seek with wise
My bed -- the earth, my canapé -- the skies.

A restless soul, I play so many parts
A dream begins but ends before it starts
A market-place, a tavern bar
I sing my songs where strangers are
What do I seek? I cannot say
I find my place, but then I walk away.

(Chorus:)
A vagabond, that's what they call me
I pass you by, but leave you with a song
A vagabond of no importance,
just born to be a lonely vagabond.

Hello, goodbye, I know I cannot stay
Some other town is calling me away
I look at those who fall in love
It's something, I know little love
And yet I love the life I lead
A place to sing is all I ever need.

Chorus

A vagabond of no importance,
just born to be |: a lonely vagabond :|
