Chris Rea ~ Curse Of The Traveller (1987)

This awesome song by "Chris Rea" is from his album "Dancing With Strangers" which was released in 1987, and this album was Chris's Ninth Studio album which made it to number 2 in the UK, but it was number 1 in New Zealand.. love the lyrics to this song and have added them at the end of this video description.. The footage here was of a Sulky race taking place on a very busy road, it was all getting a bit dangerous, but it was taken by my friend Mark over in Ireland, so many thanks mate..
Lyrics
On the restless road to nowhere
There's no certain peace it seems
Desire to keep on moving
Till the river of dreams
Is it just because someone told you
Is it just because you found
Old freedom feels uneasy when duty is around
When allegiance asks the questions
Old freedom twists and turns
And chokes on codes of honour
On the sword of no return
And it's the curse of the traveller
The curse of the traveller
Got a hold of me
And it won't let you be
And in sleepless nights
You'll call her name
And feel loneliness cold to the bone
And when the daylight breaks
This old tired heart aches
To be such a long way, such a long way from home
And you long for the harbourlights
But you'll never be free
Of the craving for refuge
And the call of the sea
Always wanting to sell up
But always needing to buy
So till the road leads to somewhere
And that river runs dry
It's the curse of the traveller
Ain't gonna let you be
The curse of the traveller
And it sure got a hold of me
