Chris De Burgh - The Traveller 1982

Chris De Burgh - The Traveller 1982

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, landlord, 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.
('T was 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!

Possibly the most overlooked artist of all time.

A beautiful song which touches the heart, pierces the soul and then sinks deep inside. A mi me gusta mucho mucho.

Thanks for sharing this song.

@booopdooop he aint overlooked..i promise ..but the damn society is to blame..a lot of people hide a much of their true face..u would be surprised of how many people -playing the tough guy in the day- tune in a chris de burgh record in the evening;) cuz they know whats best and like to listen to good listenable mind clearing adventuring storytelling songs.. ;)
