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 rendezvous
 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 whiskey Landlord, I wanna talk for a while"
 And where the traveller goes,
 A cold wind blows
 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 it 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
 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
