Curse of the Traveller
On the restless road to nowhereThere’s no certain peace it seemsDesire to keep on movingTill the river of dreamsIs it just because someone told youIs it just because you foundOld freedom feels uneasy when duty is around
When allegiance asks the questionsOld freedom twists and turnsAnd chokes on codes of honourOn the sword of no return
And its the curse of the travellerThe curse of the travellerGot a hold of meAnd it wont let you be
And in sleepless nightsYou’ll call her nameAnd feel loneliness cold to the boneAnd when the daylight breaksThis old tired heart achesTo be such a long way, such a long way from home
And you long for the harbour lightsBut you’ll never be freeOf the craving for refugeAnd the call of the seaAlways wanting to sell upBut always needing to buySo till the road leads to somewhereAnd that river runs dry
Its the curse of the travellerAin’t gonna let you beThe curse of the travellerAnd it sure got a hold of me
