When Adventure’s Lost its Meaning

In the quiet misty morning 
When the moon has gone to bed
When the sparrows stop their singing
And the sky is clear and red

When the summer's ceased its gleaming
When the corn is past its prime
When adventure's lost its meaning
I'll be homeward bound in time

Bind me not to the pasture
Chain me not to the plow
Set me free to find my calling
And I'll return to you somehow
