On the restless road to nowhere   There's no certain peace it seems   Desire to keep on moving   till the river of dreams   Is it just because someone told you   Is it just because you found   Old freedom feels uneasy when duty is around      When allegiance asks the questions   Old freedom twists and turns   And chokes on codes of honour   On the sword of no return      And it's the curse of the traveller   The curse of the traveller   Got a hold of me   And it won't let you be      And in sleepless nights   You'll call her name   And feel loneliness cold to the bone   And when the daylight breaks   This old tired heart aches   To be such a long way, such a long way from home      And you long for the harbourlights   But you'll never be free   Of the craving for refuge   And the call of the sea   Always wanting to sell up   But always needing to buy   So till the road leads to somewhere   And that river runs dry      It's the curse of the traveller   Ain't gonna let you be   The curse of the traveller   And it sure got a hold of me
