Travelling AloneYou know I always wanted to do the right thing
But somehow it was easier to let the Devil in
They say he’s got the best tunes, I know that for a fact
I may have left the straight road but I’m finding my way back
You have been my lodestar, shining in the dark
Thought I had my car in drive but the damn thing was in park
You know I always wanted to tell it to you straight
But somehow it was easier to blame the tricks of fate
I took up with a communist, she said she didn’t care
If we weren’t exclusive, she was quite OK to share
I liked the way she held her drink and her serious ideas
I wish I’d told her how I felt before she disappeared
I wish I’d told her how I felt before she hit the road
Cause it’s much too hard travelling alone
Yes it’s much too hard travelling alone
Well I heard you were in Esperance or Paris or Madrid
I never was entirely sure of what it was I did
To make you pack your little bag, put on your travelling shoes
But ever since you did I have been wrestling with the blues
I hope you’re being careful; there are perils on the road
Sometimes the danger signs are clear and sometimes they’re in code
Everybody’s nervous and the battle lines are drawn
Strange lights in the sky at night and circles in the corn
They have their orders; shoot to kill, we don’t negotiate
I wish I’d told her how I felt before it was too late
I wish I’d laid it on the line before she hit the road
Cause it’s much too hard travelling alone
Yes it’s much too hard travelling alone
I know you always wanted to put on that wedding dress
And raise a little family at some bankable address
Honesty is hard when it will only break your heart
Somehow it was easier to let us drift apart
But I wish I’d told you how I felt before I hit the road
Cause it’s much too hard travelling alone
Yes it’s much too hard travelling alone
