Byron Keith Taylor: Music

The Wanderer's Tale

(Byron Keith Taylor)
2000
This is the song I was talking about quite awhile ago. You can hear elements of the Russian influence with the male choir and it's very orchestral. David Dallon, as usual, played a lovely soprano sax solo on it. It almost reminded me of Klezmer music.
I'm a poor, weary traveller
Now that I'm on my own
I don't have a career,
I don't have a home
I have journeyed to foreign lands for the thrill of the hunt
Is the future still in my hands?
Will I ever know just who I am or will good fortune prevail?
This is the Wanderer's Tale
I have sailed on forbidden shores, crossed through rocky terrain
Fought with cutthroats and bandits just to have a name
I'm still looking for paradise or what's left of it now
I don't know where I will wind up
but that's part of what I'm all about
Someday, I know you won't fail to tell the Wanderer's Tale
I'm a poor, weary traveller
With a sword at my side
working for every meal I have
Will I ever know just who I am or will good fortune prevail?
This was the Wanderer's Tale
