The Barleyshakes - Travelling Song Lyrics

I've been travelling now for so long
I couldn't begin to trace all our tracks
Gone this far well we might as well keep going
Can't count all the beautiful things we've seen
The king of the road travelling with his queen

The world is at your door, the world is at your door
And it is calling

The sun is setting in the west
And we're driving hard into it
Trying to get to Budapest before it's started snowing
And we've seen the paintings of Egon Shiele
We've climbed the ancient forbidden towers
We lay in open space
And all those days they seem like hours

The world is at your door, the world is at your door
And it is calling

We journeyed to Versailles and dined at the palace
On a salad sandwich we purchased from an Arab
He smiled at us through tobacco stained teeth
Singing praise Allah, you are what you eat

We swam with dolphins in a turquoise sea
While the world around us was ill at ease
On New Year's day we chanted for peace yeah
Nam mo ram o yeah, nam mo ram o yeah
The world is at your door, the world is at your door
And it is calling
This precious world keeps calling
Hear it call
