Текст песни Traveler's Prayer - Bonus Track - Mary Chapin Carpenter

Here I am walking far from familiar streets
Looking for someone who might resemble me
Whispering something, sounds like a traveler's prayer
Saying luck play your hand, I'm a stranger here
Time be a friend, show me which way to steer
Love show your face, if carry a traveler's prayer

Maybe it's tucked in a journal you've carried for years
Engraved on a compass, or long disappeared
The one in my head's always ready when I need a spare
Reciting the words as I'm yearning for home
When the daylight has left me by the side of the road
Nobody's hurting and nobody's cold anywhere
In a traveler's prayer

I'm scanning the skies for signs that we're not alone
Signals and messages bound for the twilight zone
Maybe they're wondering who keeps on waving down there
We're just the pale blue dot, a speck in an ink-black sky
Do I see with my heart instead of my jaded eye
Imagine the world on a string and sing a traveler's prayer

What if I heard my name called by a voice that I know
From a memory summoned from so long ago
I keep feeling the lately departed are everywhere

Now the days race like swifts in the violet hour
Veering and steering higher and farther
Oh to be finally delivered on a warm gust of air
It's a traveler's prayer

Reciting the words as we're yearning for home
When darkness has found us at the end of the road
Nobody's hurting and nobody's cold anywhere
In a traveler's prayer
