Fair Haired Traveller

Intro: Verse: 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 eyed girl With a hunger for tomorrow And I was then obese by pain. I had all that I could swallow. Oh, fair haired travelling girl Keep on travelling on Oh, fair haired travelling girl It's just the seat that you have is wrong Verse: 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 And as she took the seat beside me. I inhaled all of her laughter And she forgot there is a past. And I forgot there is an after. Oh, fair haired travelling girl Keep on travelling on Oh, fair haired travelling girl It's just the seat that you have is wrong In a song Verse: 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 laid there sleeping tightly And as the train pulled to another stop. I knew that she'd go on without me. Chorus:
