Title:
Come Wander With Me
Artist: Bonnie Beecher (componist Jeff Alexander)



                              


The 'Come Wander With Me' song was composed by Jeff Alexander and sung by Bonnie Beecher herself.

The song is built into the story. It builds verse by verse together with the events in the episode. Part of the lyrics are not complete, since some verses are not sung in full.

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



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

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

The Rayfords were 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…
(....)


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

By the lake where our love 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 lakeside
For a boy hardly grown

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


Use of the Song in Modern Culture
