The Traveller lyrics
Song information
Artist: Chris De Burgh Album: Best Moves
Lyrics
In from the coast, riding like the wind and racing the moon Shadows on the road, dancing and a-weaving like a crazy fool A horseman is coming, death in his heart, for a rendez-vous And where the traveller goes, nobody knows Where the traveller goes, nobody knows...
A candle in the night, fear on every face when he goes inside (Maybe he's on the run?) Get back from the bar! a stranger in town is a dangerous sight (Maybe he's got a gun?) "Bring a bottle of whisky, landlord, I wanna talk for a while." And where the traveller goes, a cold wind blows Oh, where the traveller goes, a cold wind blows...
There is something in his eyes, something in his hands You can almost smell his revenge! And whoever he is after, it will be disaster: This man is gonna take him to the very end...
Well, the landlord he trembled, staring at a face he'd seen somewhere before (You laid him in the ground) Suddenly remembers a killing, yes, a murder, many years before ('Twas you that shot him down) He said to a boy: "saddle me the black, I'll meet you down below With this man I must talk, yes with this traveller I'll go With this man I must talk, yes with him I must go."
There is something in his eyes, something in his hands I can almost smell his revenge! And it's me that he's after, it will be disaster: This man is gonna take me to the very end...
And they were never seen again!
