Seth Lakeman - Tender Traveller lyrics

A lonely journey I must face The Ancient prophets they hunt and chase At the broken cross roads of sense and will I take the high road to the hills Drawing closer the tables turn My will defied and I'm left to learn Tears on pale cheeks fall like rain I try my best to ease the pain I'm running on I'm choking I'm hoping that i'll break free Their closing in I see them I hear them all over me I'm running all night I'm running all day I'm running my life Those turning tunnels full of looks Creeping shadows of barbs and hooks Hide and seek through the valleys deep They pa** above me as daylight sleeps This burning fire that I behold With the glowing embers of my soul Pa**ing pictures of what should be I leave behind my misery Chr With waking eyes the day unfolds Smoke and ashes a biting cold A new ambition of chosen youth I head back home to tell the truth Those words of wisdom the wrong and right I'm a tender traveller all through my life A winding pathway of twists and turns This race of danger my body burns
