[Verse 1]
Traveling lady, stay awhile
Until the night is over
I'm just a station on your way
I know I am not your lover

[Bridge 1]
Well I lived with a child of snow
When I was a soldier
And I fought every man for her
Until the nights grew colder

[Verse 2]
She used to wear her hair like you
Except when she was sleeping
And then she'd weave it on a loom
Of smoke and gold and breathing

[Bridge 2]
And why are you so quiet now
Standing there in the doorway?
You chose your journey long before
You came upon this highway

[Verse 1]
Traveling lady, stay awhile
Until the night is over
I'm just a station on your way
I know I'm not your lover
