Deburgh Chris The Traveller Lyrics

The Traveller 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, ladlord, 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 where never seen again!
