[Verse 1]
Light out wanderlust
Head us out to sea
Captain says there'll be a bust
This one's not for me
Take us from the dark
Out where we can see
Captain's out to make his mark
This one's not to be
[Chorus]
Light out wanderlust
Help us to be free
Light out wanderlust
Do it just for me
Wanderlust
[Verse 2]
Oh where did I go wrong, my love?
What petty crime was I found guilty of?
What better time to find a brand new day?
Oh - wanderlust away
[Chorus]
Light out wanderlust
Help us to be free
Light out wanderlust
Do it just for me
Wanderlust
[Verse 3]
Captain's out to make his mark
This one's not to be
[Verse 1/Verse 2 countermelody]
Light out wanderlust
(Oh where did I go wrong, my love?)
Head us out to sea
(What petty crime was I found guilty of?)
Captain says there'll be a bust
(What better time to find a brand new day?)
This one's not for me
(Oh - wanderlust away)
[Outro]
Dropping a line
Maybe this time
It's wanderlust for me
Light out wanderlust
Head us out to sea
Captain says there'll be a bust
This one's not for me
Take us from the dark
Out where we can see
Captain's out to make his mark
This one's not to be
[Chorus]
Light out wanderlust
Help us to be free
Light out wanderlust
Do it just for me
Wanderlust
[Verse 2]
Oh where did I go wrong, my love?
What petty crime was I found guilty of?
What better time to find a brand new day?
Oh - wanderlust away
[Chorus]
Light out wanderlust
Help us to be free
Light out wanderlust
Do it just for me
Wanderlust
[Verse 3]
Captain's out to make his mark
This one's not to be
[Verse 1/Verse 2 countermelody]
Light out wanderlust
(Oh where did I go wrong, my love?)
Head us out to sea
(What petty crime was I found guilty of?)
Captain says there'll be a bust
(What better time to find a brand new day?)
This one's not for me
(Oh - wanderlust away)
[Outro]
Dropping a line
Maybe this time
It's wanderlust for me
