Wandering Allowed


I was thinking about naming the Blog "Wandering Allowed" a word play on the title of a song - actually spelled "Wond'ring aloud" - from the album Aqualung by Jethro Tull.





Heres the lyrics:

Wond'ring aloud --how we feel today.
Last night sipped the sunset --my hands in her hair.
We are our own saviours as we start
both our hearts beating life into each other.

Wond'ring aloud --will the years treat us well.
As she floats in the kitchen,I'm tasting the smell of toast as the butter runs.
Then she comes, spilling crumbs on the bed...and I shake my head.
And it's only the giving that makes you what you are.


I cant figure out how to upload the music file, such a sweet and hopeful tune. In a later album, Living in the Past, the band revisited this tune with "Wond'ring again" The last line then became "Its only the taking that makes you what you are"
