Lyrics for The Traveller
When I come home You're just lying there Face against the wall Never had a care I am just a traveller There's no light in this room And the body's aching at night Would I be acting up If I said it's not enough Who knows who else who is with No one is with the traveller There's a light in my eyes And a future invisible now Heard it's your birthday Candles in a row Better blow them quick Before they're melting on the floor You were never a traveller There's no light in your room And the bodies don't ache in the night Would I be acting up If I said not that much Who else would do anything for the traveller There's a light in her eyes And a future visible touch I was looking out of the window at the sky Starless vigil of a life that has gone by Saturn turning and I feel there's not much more For a vision of the night turn off your light
