Lyrics

Traveling Song

I been walking all night
Whats here in my head
Running over and over
Every thing you said
I had told you i wouldn't stay long
I am the stranger in a traveling song

I belong under the stars in the sky
Hearing the words as the winds blow by

I couldn't settle down I wouldn't try
Love is a wound that binds

I loved you girl in my own way
There was nothing that could make me stay
I had told you I wouldn't stay long
I am the stranger in a traveling song

I'm sorry it didn't turn out
I did cherish you each and every day
I had told you i wouldn't stay long
I am the stranger in a traveling song

(c)Desert Windsong Music

Unique approach with the accompaniment being so far back in the mix.
The song has a very haunting effect, carrying a certain amount of sorrow with it.
