Lonesome Traveler
Journey Through Life's Mysteries: A Lonesome Odyssey
Lyrics
I'm a lonesome traveler on a darkened road
I am a solitary traveler on a dimly lit road.
At the fall of midnight with a heavy load
At midnight, burdened with a heavy load.
And it ain't no burden but it ain't no gold
It's neither a burden nor a treasure.
My body tied to this mortal coil
My physical existence tied to this mortal life.
In the mystic hollow of a cattail marsh
In the mystical hollow of a marsh filled with cattails.
Where the frogs sing poems to the country dark
Where frogs sing poetic songs in the darkness of the countryside.
See the new moon rising o'er the field afar
Witness the new moon rising over a distant field.
Hear the rumbling engine of a passing car
Hear the sound of a passing car's engine.
Oh Rock of Ages Oh human birth
Addressing the enduring nature of existence and human birth.
Oh endless longing Oh holy earth
Expressing an infinite yearning for something profound on the holy earth.
Oh cruel highway Oh thief of Time
Referring to the highway as both harsh and a thief of time.
Oh sleep of Death Oh Life divine
Alluding to the contrasting aspects of sleep, death, and divine life.
See the lonesome windmill on a hill so high
Observing a solitary windmill on a high hill.
Feel the wind a blowing across a Northern sky
Feeling the wind blowing across the Northern sky.
To fall so sweetly to dive so low
Describing a sweet fall and a low dive, possibly metaphorical.
Oh to fall from Heaven
Expressing a desire to fall from heaven.
Oh too far to go
Reflecting on the distance to travel, suggesting a challenging journey.
