Lyrics
I never went sailing 'cross the ocean
Never went biking up the alps
Never broke a window that I ever replaced
Never paid a dime for a nickel bag
I had a chance encounter, but she said she couldn't wait
I followed her sign. Our map was out of date
As Travelers, we got to have the patience
Travelers, got to have freedom to pick their way
Out of a million
I never went fishing without any bait
I took a straw hat just in case of the sun
Sometimes I slept
In a castle or a shack
I was in my own way til I fell out of place
And I'm never going back
I had a chance encounter but it happend very late
She was transparent. I was opaque.
As Travelers, we got to have the patience
Travelers, got to have freedom to pick their way
Out of a million
I write a brief synopsis of my time alive to date
I think of many endings, but I prefer to wait
Sometimes I sleep
in a castle or a shack
I get in my own way when I fall into place
But I'm always going back
To somewhere in between
A castle or shack
