Fair Haired Traveller

Intro:         Verse: On a train ride from some place bad   To some place little better   In between my youth and manhood   Was the place I met her   She was just a skinny brown eyed girl     With a hunger for tomorrow      And I was then obese by pain.     I had all that I could swallow.           Oh fair haired travelling girl   Keep on travelling on   Oh fair haired travelling girl It’s just the seat that you have is wrong    Verse: Her eyes were packing passed regrets.     In her lips there was redemption   And she mistook my coat for love.     As she wore it for affection   And as she took the seat beside me.     I inhaled all of her laughter     And she forgot there is a past.     And I forgot there is an after.            Oh fair haired travelling girl   Keep on travelling on   Oh fair haired travelling girl It’s just the seat that you have is wrong   In a song          Verse: On a train ride from some place gone.     To some place almost certain   In between my flesh and bone.     Was the place I met her   And wrapped up in my coat of shame.     She laid there sleeping tightly     And as the train pulled to another stop.     I knew that she’d go on without me.         Chorus:   Oh fair haired travelling girl   Keep on travelling on   Oh fair haired travelling girl It’s just the seat that you have is wrong
