Becoming Branches - The Travelling Harpist Lyrics
Official




I come from the city and I'll play you a song
But when the sun goes down each night oh then I will be gone
I travel by moonlight, from town to town
For the man that I have wronged won't rest till I am found, so I
Look over my shoulder, look over my shoulder
They can't keep up if I don't slow down so I keep wheeling on
On to the next one, day after day
Find a bed to rest my head before I start to play
Broadsides and ballads, for wealthy or poor
But I'm the travelling harpist so I hit the road once more, and I
Look over my shoulder, look over my shoulder
They can't keep up if I don't slow down so I keep wheeling on
Then one night I saw you, your face lit up the room
And such was the effect of you that I forgot my tune
You showed me affection, a heart pure and true
And now this troubled troubadour will give his life for you, but I
Look over my shoulder, look over my shoulder
They can't keep up if I don't slow down so I keep wheeling on
One day they'll catch me and I'll do my time
But when I get out my love I know you'll still be mine
We'll move to the country, rose round the door
And that's the thought that keeps me warm inside these prison walls, now I
Look over my shoulder, look over my shoulder
They can't keep up if I don't slow down so I keep wheeling on
Look over my shoulder, look over my shoulder
They can't keep up if I don't slow down
So I keep wheeling on
