"Ancient Tourist" lyrics
Walk away
From any illusion
Your mind won't erase
Walk away
From an infantile wishing
You could pay it not to change
Some other season, you were a healer
You hung your silver scissors
Sang a song of the West
You could smell the sea
And you could see a star fall
It's one those ways that a feeling
Can be none of them, or all
Pick it up, Joe!
Come along, Cora!
We know something beautiful
Is out there for ya
Down in New Mexico
We're rolling on
We're moving on
Below the great skies, running
We're lost and lonely
Lady, come on
'Cause the wind is humming
The night is warm and blooming
We're only human
And retracing all the movements
Of the ancient tourist
I hum a holy hymn
To nothing special
So proud I got to be the sacred vessel
Take a bow, Wayne!
Roll along, Daryl!
You paid your own way
And I'll play you this carol –
I wrote it some years ago
We're rolling on
We're moving all
Below the great skies, running
We're going hungry, honey
Come on now
The rain is drumming
The night is all-consuming
We're only human
And exhuming all the movements
Of the ancient tourist
The night is all-consuming
We're only human
And resuming all the movements
Of the ancient tourist
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
Pretty days all in a row
Pretty land
Pretty band –
Pretty blossom
That the wind did blow
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
Pretty days all in a row
Pretty star
Pretty bar
Pretty far out
With some friends I know
The night is all-consuming
We're only human
And renewing all the movements
Of the ancient tourist
The night is all-consuming
We're only human
And renewing all the movements
Of the ancient tourist
The night is all-consuming
We're only human
And renewing all the movements
Of the ancient tourist
The night is all-consuming
We're only human
And renewing all the movements
Of the ancient tourist
The night is all-consuming
We're only human
And renewing all the movements
Of the ancient tourist
The night is all-consuming
We're only human
And renewing all the movements
Of the ancient tourist
From any illusion
Your mind won't erase
Walk away
From an infantile wishing
You could pay it not to change
Some other season, you were a healer
You hung your silver scissors
Sang a song of the West
You could smell the sea
And you could see a star fall
It's one those ways that a feeling
Can be none of them, or all
Pick it up, Joe!
Come along, Cora!
We know something beautiful
