Traveling Boy

Wake up my love beneath a midday sun
Alone once more alone
This traveling boy was only passing through
But he will always think of you
One night of love beside a strange young smile
As warm as I have known
A traveling boy and only passing through
But one who'll always think of you
Take my place out on the road again
I must do what I must do
Yes I know we were lovers
But a drifter discovers
That a perfect love won't always last forever
Well I won't say that I'll be back again
But time will tell the tale
So no good-byes from one just passing th rough
But one who'll always think of you
This traveling boy was only passing through
But I will always think of you
