Fair Haired Traveller
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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-eyes girl
A hunger for tomorrow
And I was then obese by pain
I had all thta I could swallow.
Oh fair haired travelling girl
Keep on travelling on
Oh fair haired travelling on
It's just the seat that you have is wrong
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
As she took the seat beside me
I inhaled all of her laughter
And she forgot there is a past
While I forgot there is an after.
Oh fair haired travelling girl
Keep on travelling on
Oh fair haired travelling on
It's just the seat that you have is wrong
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 laide there sleeping tightly
And as the train pulled to another stop
I knew that she'd go on without me.
Oh fair haired travelling girl
Keep on travelling on
Oh fair haired travelling on
It's just the seat that you have is wrong
