Curse of the Traveller |
| On the restless road to nowhere |
| There’s no certain peace it seems |
| Desire to keep on moving |
| Till the river of dreams |
| Is it just because someone told you |
| Is it just because you found |
| Old freedom feels uneasy when duty is around |
| When allegiance asks the questions |
| Old freedom twists and turns |
| And chokes on codes of honour |
| On the sword of no return |
| And it’s the curse of the traveller |
| The curse of the traveller |
| Got a hold of me |
| And it won’t let you be |
| And in sleepless nights |
| You’ll call her name |
| And feel loneliness cold to the bone |
| And when the daylight breaks |
| This old tired heart aches |
| To be such a long way, such a long way from home |
| And you long for the harbourlights |
| But you’ll never be free |
| Of the craving for refuge |
| And the call of the sea |
| Always wanting to sell up |
| But always needing to buy |
| So till the road leads to somewhere |
| And that river runs dry |
| It’s the curse of the traveller |
| Ain’t gonna let you be |
| The curse of the traveller |
| And it sure got a hold of me |
