Wishwanderer Lyrics

You ask me where I live
Don't you know I live here now
But where is my one real home
This minute with you now
Home is where I stayed last night
Tomorrow's anywhere
If you let me stay with you tonight
Tomorrow's home will be here

Home has been so many roads
That I walk down in my sleeping
Here with you I'm home at last
But it's not home for my keeping
You won't miss me when I'm gone
This isn't my place
And my loves are few and don't belong
To any one lover's face

So don't ask me where I'll go
If you do I will lie to you
But I'll tell you of the place that is never my home
Where I've lived all my life
Where I sing
A wishwanderer's song
A wishwanderer's song
A wishwanderer's song

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
