(with air)
Golden waves in all directions, I could lose my soul right here
Colour lights on the runway makes a stranger feel unchained
I'm running after time & I miss the sunshine
Summer days will come, happiness will be mine
I'm lost in my words, I don't know where I'm going
I do the best I can not to worry about things
I feel loose, I feel haggard, don't know what I'm looking for
Something true, something lovely that will make me feel alive
I'm running after time and i miss the sunshine
Summer days will come, happiness will be mine
I'm lost in my words, I don't know where I'm going
I do the best i can not to worry about things
Like a vagabond in the distance looking for a song to sing
A song that will last all night and for the rest of our lives
I'm lost in my words, I don't know where I'm going
I do the best i can not to worry about things
I'm running after time and I miss the sunshine
Summer days will come, happiness will be mine
I'm lost in my words,I don't know where I'm going
I do the best i can not to worry about things
I'm running after time and i miss the sunshine
Summer days will come, happiness will be mine
BECK: the god of music
Golden waves in all directions, I could lose my soul right here
Colour lights on the runway makes a stranger feel unchained
I'm running after time & I miss the sunshine
Summer days will come, happiness will be mine
I'm lost in my words, I don't know where I'm going
I do the best I can not to worry about things
I feel loose, I feel haggard, don't know what I'm looking for
Something true, something lovely that will make me feel alive
I'm running after time and i miss the sunshine
Summer days will come, happiness will be mine
I'm lost in my words, I don't know where I'm going
I do the best i can not to worry about things
Like a vagabond in the distance looking for a song to sing
A song that will last all night and for the rest of our lives
I'm lost in my words, I don't know where I'm going
I do the best i can not to worry about things
I'm running after time and I miss the sunshine
Summer days will come, happiness will be mine
I'm lost in my words,I don't know where I'm going
I do the best i can not to worry about things
I'm running after time and i miss the sunshine
Summer days will come, happiness will be mine

The Vagabond
Released on Beck's 1994 album *Odelay*, "The Vagabond" stands as a quintessential example of the band's eclectic, genre-blending approach. The track features Beck's signature falsetto vocals layered over a rhythmic, guitar-driven arrangement that captures the restless energy of the mid-90s alternative rock scene. As a central piece on the record, it reflects the album's themes of wandering and introspection, delivered with a melodic sensibility that bridges indie rock and country influences. The song remains a staple of the tracklist, showcasing Beck's ability to craft memorable hooks while maintaining a distinct, atmospheric production style that defined an era of American music.
