Den Reisende (The Traveller) - Debbie Wiseman & The National Symphony Orchestra

I felt just like a traveler as I went walking up my street Every building so familiar but it's like I never seen 'em There's the same rows of houses, row on row I felt just like a stranger as I set my key in the door, and lingered Standing there on the porch Little flecks on the brick, where the paint did not stick, I never could paint in the lines I felt just like a tourist, seeing it all for the first time Like a guest Unsure of what I might find I set down my boots where he would hang up his suits And I brushed the snow from my coat, to the skin I was soaked I felt just like a traveler, my eyes open wide Like a stranger, uncertain and shy Everybody's so well meaning, everybody's been so kind Called to see if I been eating, wondered when to come by You should have called somebody You should have called somebody, before it ever came to this, oh, yeah Then you called me

In from the coast Riding like the wind and racing the moon Shadows on the road Dancing and a-weaving like a crazy fool A horseman is coming Death in his heart for a rendezvous And where the traveller goes Nobody knows Where the traveller goes Nobody knows A candle in the night Fear on every face when he goes inside (Maybe he's on the run) Get back from the bar A stranger in town is a dangerous sight (Maybe he's got a gun) "Bring a bottle of whiskey Landlord, I wanna talk for a while" And where the traveller goes, A cold wind blows Where the traveller goes A cold wind blows There is something in his eyes, Something in his hands You can almost smell his revenge And whoever he is after, it will be disaster This man is gonna take it to the very end Well the landlord he trembled Staring at a face he'd seen somewhere before (You laid him in the ground) Suddenly remembers A killing, yes a murder many years before ('twas you that shot him down) He said to a boy "Saddle me the black I'll meet you down below With this man I must talk With this traveller I'll go With this man I must talk Yes with him I must go" "There is something in his eyes, Something in his hands I can almost smell his revenge And it's me that he's after, it will be disaster This man is gonna take me to the very end" And they were never seen again

We've traveled through a fire We've risen from a swamp Smashed through a hall of mirrors Flown from a mountaintop We found a hidden treasure Encased inside a vault Beneath a giant's dragon Beyond the sirens call See you from a distance Through a heavy rolling fog See you from a distance Through a heavy rolling fog We became mad with fever Eating a demon's spell Died and returned a spirit To haunt this hidden well See you from a distance Through a heavy rolling fog See you from a distance Through a heavy rolling fog
