The Traveller lyrics

Song information

Artist: Chris De Burgh
Album: Eastern Wind

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!
