I always say when I travel
I always say when I get time I always talk to people I can see Yeah I always take every opportunity So tell yourself you're a strong man Yeah tell yourself you won't be fooled again In paradise we'll have fun Yeah you throw the rice I'll watch the dirty waters run Yeah I always say when I give the whole game away I always say just before I go away So tell yourself you're a strong man Yeah tell yourself you won't be fooled again We'll do some tricks You'll never joke again So find yourself a sweet songbird And she'll sing you to sleep And her beauty is such a joke Like the promises you keep So you take a train and you take a plane And you become one million things And you lose everything so fast Despite everything I say I always say when I'm traveling I always say when I'm killing time When winter hits When she's outside crying When questions come I always say I always say |
