Days Are Numbers (the Traveller) Lyrics - Alan Parson Project

The traveler is always leaving town 

He never has the time to turn around 

And if the road he's taken isn't leading anywhere 

He seems to be completely unaware 

The traveler is always leaving home 

The only kind of life he's ever known 

When every moment seems to be 

A race against the time 

There's always one more mountain left to climb 

Days are numbers, watch the stars 

We can only see so far 

Someday, you'll know where you are, remember 

Days are numbers, count the stars 

We can only go so far 

One day, you'll know where you are 

The traveler awaits the morning tide 

He doesn't know what's on the other side 

But something deep inside of him 

Keeps telling him to go 

He hasn't found a reason to say no 

The traveler is only passing through 

He cannot understand your point of view 

Abandoning reality, unsure of what he'll find 

The traveler in me is close behind 

Days are numbers, watch the stars 

We can only see so far 

Someday you'll know where you are 

Remember 

Days are numbers, count the stars 

We can only go so far 

One day, you'll know where you are 

Remember 

Days are numbers, watch the stars 

We can only see so far 

Someday you'll know where you are
