Traveller by The Levellers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I thought I heard the sound of the speech on the wind
The smoulder and the smoke are hanging just above
And the darkest of thoughts have the time to gather round
As gentle was the word and the speech on the sound

[Chorus}
There's a place that's travelled far
Always with you in your thoughts
It's where you're safe underground
Waiting for the world with your song

[Verse 2]
And the colour of her hair as it glides across her face
All thoughts of despair, they now seem so out of place
And it seems familiar as the world it goes
Yeah thinking of her, where you ought'a go

[Chorus}
There's a place that's travelled far
Always with you in your thoughts
It's where you're safe underground
Waiting for the world with your song
[Bridge]
Stranded fish out of water
Struggling with all that they taught you

[Verse 3]
Siren of the state, they have to beach it down
Notice every word, have to touch the ground
You lift up your face to all the possibility
'Cause there has to be grace as we journey that way

[Chorus}
There's a place that's travelled far
Always with you in your thoughts
It's where you're safe underground
Waiting for the world with your song
