The Traveller

When I come home

You're just lying there

Face against the wall

Never had a care

I am just a traveller

There's no light in this room

And the body's aching at night

Would I be acting up

If i said it's not enough

Who knows who else who is with

No one is with the traveller

There's a light in my eyes

And a future invisible now

Heard it's your birthday

Candles in a row

Better blow them quick

Before they're melting on the floor

You were never a traveller

There's no light in your room

And the bodies don't ache in the night

Would I be acting up

If i said not that much

Who else would do

anything for the traveller

There's a light in her eyes

And a future visible touch

I was looking out of the

window at the sky

Starless vigil of a life that

has gone by

Saturn turning and I feel

there's not much more

For a vision of the night turn

off your light
