Traveler Suite Lyrics - Blues Traveler

She's all I ever wanted 

She could make me alive 

I don't think she's dead or anything, but I still feel haunted 

Something in the way she said goodbye 

This time 

The night before 

It could be me but it seemed like I needn't return 

That's right little johnny gets to go and fight his war 

And as he rides off in the sunset he feels the last ray's burn 

And shine 

The setting sun, though we ain't done 

The setting sun, though we ain't done 

The only one that makes me run 

The setting sun, though we ain't done 

What the hell did she mean 

When she turned away and said "don't you ever forget me" 

And why the sad routine 

The tear in her eye, and my big reply 

When I said you'd never let me 

Oh no, not she 

I found a letter 

I found it in a pocket that she must have slipped it in 

It basically told me to forget her 

Now I ain't no genius, but I think I could begin 

To see 

The setting sun, though we ain't done 

The setting sun, though we ain't done 

The only one that makes me run 

The setting sun, though we ain't done 

With the sun obscured from view 

And none but the night left to keep me warm 

Is it me my darling, there's nothing left to do 

But surrender to the coming storm 

Where I am born... 

With nothing to lose, and freedom to gain 

I rode west at nightfall through freezing rain 

Relying on luck, and the wit of my brain 

Visions of plunder and endless campaign 

Numb the pain 

There is comfort in the sun 

And the earth is good and soft 

Now my sail catch the wind send my chariot aloft 

I am rounding all the parapets 

As another city burns 

Harvest all creation for it's ominous return 

And then well before dawn 

In cover we've gone 

Moving on to the next after killing my prey 

Growing steadily easier each one I'd slay 

By blood and by battle, making my way 

Onto the breach and into the fray 

When I play... 

There is comfort in the sun 

And the earth is good and soft 

Now my sail catch the wind send my chariot aloft 

I am rounding all the parapets 

As another city burns 

Harvest all creation for it's ominous return 

And then well before dawn 

In cover we've gone 

Come hell, come high water, come into me 

Storm bring your flood waters, turn desert to sea 

Destroy all my obstacles, whatever they be 

Extinguish all light and fell every tree 

Set me free! 

Said a low branch touching the water 

Feels the current's take 

Said a mighty river bends her 

But ohohoh 

But she won't break 

Ain't gonna break anytime soon 

Said a candle's flame she dances 

A sudden tempest blows 

She dwindles and dims against the cold, cold winds 

And ohohoh 

And then she grows, she keeps growin and growin and growin 

Somehow, I gotta come and see 

Some way, she's familiar to me 

Gently, she'd try and try and try 

It amazes me 

And I gotta find out why 

Somehow, I gotta come and see 

Some way, she's familiar to me 

Gently, she'd try and try and try 

It amazes me 

And I gotta find out why 

Iiiii 

I may never understand her 

Her secret is not to know 

Nothing for me to do, with or for or to 

But ohohoh 

I just love to watch her go 

Said I love to watch her go 

Gonna watch her go... 

I am the river that bends the branch 

I am the tempest that dwindles the flame 

No one can stand the avalanche 

The beast can be bargained but he can't be tamed 

Balance and equilibrium lost 

No one can hold me or alter my fate 

The die casts love before the rubicon crossed 

Trying not to move, but momentum won't wait 

It's too late... 

There is comfort in the sun 

And the earth is good and soft 

Now my sail catch the wind send my chariot aloft 

I am rounding all the parapets 

As another city burns 

Harvest all creation for it's ominous return 

And then well before dawn 

In cover we've gone 

She's all I ever wanted 

Maybe now I'm wanting something more 

So we start away, unto the new daylight undaunted 

Maybe that is what the dawn is for 

But you can't be sure...
