On the restless road to nowhere, there's no certain peace, it seems
Gm Cm
Desire to keep on moving to the River of Dreams

Is it just because someone told you? Is it just because you found

Old Freedom feels uneasy when duty is around?
D#maj7 Dm
When allegiance asks the questions, Old Freedom twists and turns
Cm Gm (F optional)
And chokes on codes of Honor, on the Sword of No Return

And it's The Curse of the Traveller

The Curse of the Traveller
Cm F Gm
Got a hold of me
Cm F Gm
And it won't let you be
Gm C Gm D. ..
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
