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 harbor lights, but you'll never be free
Of the craving for refuge and the call of the sea

Always wanting to sell out, but always needing to buy
So til 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
