In from the coast

Riding like the wind and racing the moon

Shadows on the road

Dancing and a-weaving like a crazy fool

A horseman is coming

Death in his heart for a rendezvous

And where the traveller goes

No-body knows

Where the traveller goes

No-body knows



A Candle in the night

Fear on every face when he goes inside

(Maybe he's on the run)

Get back from the bar

A stranger in town is a dangerous site

(Maybe he's got a gun)

Bring a bottle of whiskey Landlord, I wanna talk for a while

And where the traveller goes,

A cold wind blows

Where the traveller goes

A cold wind blows



There is something in his eyes,

Something in his hands

You can almost smell his revenge

And whoever he is after, it will be disaster

This man is gonna take it to the very end



Well the landlord he trembled

Staring at a face he'd seen somewhere before

(You laid him in the ground)

Suddenly remembers

A killing, yes a murder many years before

(twas you that shot him down)

He said to a boy

Saddle me the black I'll meet you down below

With this man I must talk

With this traveller I'll go

With this man I must talk

Yes will him I must go



There is something in his eyes,

Something in his hands

I can almost smell his revenge

And it's me that he's after, it will be disaster

This man is gonna take me to the very end

And they were never seen again
