'wandered off' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'street with edward catching some sunshine' is the wordplay.
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'edward' becomes 'Ed' (short for Edward).
'catching' is an insertion indicator.
'some sunshine' becomes 'ray' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'st'+'ed'='sted'
'sted' placed around 'ray' is 'STRAYED'.

Can you help me to learn more?
