Curse Of The Traveller Lyrics - Chris Rea

On the restless road to nowhere 

There's no certain peace it seems 

Desire to keep on moving 

Till the river of dreams 

Is it just because someone told you 

Is it just because you found 

Old freedom feels uneasy when duty is around 

When allegiance asks the questions 

Old freedom twists and turns 

And chokes on codes of honour 

On the sword of no return 

And it's the curse of the traveller 

The curse of the traveller 

Got a hold of me 

And it won't let you be

And in sleepless nights 

You'll call her name 

And feel loneliness cold to the bone 

And when the daylight breaks 

This old tired heart aches 

To be such a long way, such a long way from home 

And you long for the harbourlights 

But you'll never be free 

Of the craving for refuge 

And the call of the sea 

Always wanting to sell up 

But always needing to buy 

So till the road leads to somewhere 

And that river runs dry 

Photos 

It's the curse of the traveller 

Ain't gonna let you be 

The curse of the traveller 

And it sure got a hold of me
