Wanderer Songtext
von Judith Hill

Five o′clock, market shops are closing down
The metal doors slowly rolling down
The crowd is thinning, mothers putting babies in their cars
The sun is fading, street lights are turning on

I am walking the streets by myself
Wandering all around
Searching for all the familiar faces
But everybody's going home way too early

Marching bands and all the summer parades
Left the town and now there′s just a few streetwalkers
The wind is blowing, blowing off the party hats on their heads
Round and round and round they go
They looking for a sign of a place still open

I am walking the streets by myself
Wandering all around
Searching for all the familiar faces
But everybody's going home way too early


Where did all the people go?
Why didn't they let me know?
I know that the party ain′t gonna last forever
But I guess I was hoping you′d stay a little longer
But everybody's going home way too early

Lovers want their tables
And tuck their babies in the nest
Teachers wash their chalkboards
And wish their students all the best
Musicians turn their amps off
And they walk on off the stage
But I am still standing here
I tell you, I am still standing, standing right here

I′m here fighting with the DJ
As the staff sweeps the floor
I'm still waiting on my old friends
But they ain′t here no more
Bartender makes his last call
As the house lights kill the room
But I am still standing here
I tell you, I am still standing, standing right here


Where did all my good loves go?
Why did they all go?
I wish it could be like yesterday
When we were rock and roll
I must have been out on the scene, yeah
'Cause I am here alone
I′m still standing right here
I am still standing, standing right here
