Traveler
Music and lyrics by Tracey Leanne Lutz
Background
    I wrote this song near the beginning of 1999. I had a very short involvement with a guy I knew. He was incredibly attractive and nowhere near my type, but there was a strong sexual attraction between us that we acted on to a degree. One night, after we left Kits Pub, he asked me to come home with him, and I didn't. Everything pretty much fizzled after that, but it was unfortunate because I would have like to pursue something with him, or at least have given it a shot.

Dedication
     To the man I turned away.
Lyrics
Verse 1: Traveler on the hillside of my heart
Tried to trespass but never got started
Wonder and ask you if your heart is breaking
Knowing we’ll never be together again, there’s no mistaking it

Chorus 1: One night, you wanted me there
One night, I thought you cared
One night, you loved me

Verse 2: Smokey cigarette rings flowed from your lips
The first time I ever wanted to kiss them
Since then you have kicked the habit
Sadly you kicked the habit of me too

Chorus 2: One night your lips were on mine
One night our emotions were blind
One night you loved me

Alternate verse: Every once and a while,
I see you take a drag of someone else’s cigarette
I think there may still be a chance for us
And you know it, but you refuse to show it

Verse 3
: So travel to the mountain of my soul
Maybe then I could let you go
I won’t bet you that you wouldn’t be in my heart
I’d rather save my money and buy a new guitar

Chorus 3: One night you asked me to come inside with you
What would have happened if I had?
That night you would have loved me
For just one night, you would have loved me
One night. One night. One night.
