[Verse 1] Traveling lady, stay awhile Until the night is over I'm just a station on your way I know I am not your lover [Bridge 1] Well I lived with a child of snow When I was a soldier And I fought every man for her Until the nights grew colder [Verse 2] She used to wear her hair like you Except when she was sleeping And then she'd weave it on a loom Of smoke and gold and breathing [Bridge 2] And why are you so quiet now Standing there in the doorway? You chose your journey long before You came upon this highway [Verse 1] Traveling lady, stay awhile Until the night is over I'm just a station on your way I know I'm not your lover
