You held my children tied You made them feel alright Ain't it hard, ain't it hard Just to live, just to live People are writing songs for you They don't quite know, oh, what to do 'Bout your mother, your step dad too Your brothers and your sister who. Held you in her arms that night When you left after doing everything so right 'Cause you're a traveller Yes, you're a traveller Tighty Righty, Lefty Loosey You turned the screws and made the news But you are not forsaken only Quoted as saying "Fuck the cancer, take no prisoners Don't leave your heart and your mind behind..." 'Cause you're a traveller Yes, you're a traveller 'Cause you're a traveller Yes, you're a traveller You died on the vine Before it was your time But you're alive, you're alive In those children's eyes And the wheels, they keep turning round Everybody's rushing to town But you don't have to go so fast You've won the race and you were furthest from last 'Cause you were the first to get there mate But I doubt you're resting at the Pearly Gates 'Cause you're a traveller Yes, you're a traveller 'Cause you're a traveller Yes, you're a traveller 'Cause you're a traveller 'Cause you're a traveller People are writing songs for you They don't quite know what to do 'Bout your mother
