A Very Haunting Song

12 Sep

From the Twilight Zone episode, Come Wander With Me. Sung by Bonnie Beecher who actually beat out Liza Minelli in the auditions.

He said
Come wander with me, Love
Come wander with me
Away from this sad world
Come wander with me

He came from the sunset
He came from the sea
He came from my sorrow
And can love only me

Verse

Oh where is the wanderer
Who wandered this way
He’s passed on his wandering
And will never go away

(Refrain)

He sang of a sweet love
Of dreams that would be
But I was sworn to another
And could never be free

The Rayfords where brothers
Four men tall and bold
And for one I was chosen
With my love still untold

They heard of the wanderer
They heard he loved me
They heard that…
(….)

(Rhythm change)

You killed Billy Rayford
Bespoke onto me
Struck him down in his anger
‘Neath an old Willow tree

By the lake where our loved dwelled
‘Neath an old Willow tree
You killed Billy Rayford
‘Neath an old Wilow tree

They sought out their brother
And found him alone
They wept by the lake side
For a boy hardly grown

They wept by the lake side
And vowed he must die
The wandering stranger…
