Traveller Songtext

von Amon Düül II

I'm on my way
For so many days
Trying to leave
The dreams of yesterday
Far behind
No longer I can take
My friends advice

I travelled under the bright north-light
And passed upon the jungle's twilight
But everywhere the same wind is howling
When you don't know what it is all about

I found myself
In a gown of a clown
Jamming with gipsies under an appletree
In an academy
On the knees of a sphinxs
In a nutshell on the ocean
In front of 20, 000 people
Singing
Of what is passed or passing or to come

Wherever I went and all time I spent
Was to understand
Why people are dancing
Day and night in the sand
Leave their minds on top of the world
Hate their own children
Dealing with feelings
Pay for love
Laugh about pain
And live for love

I travelled under the bright north-light
And passed upon the jungle's twilight
But everywhere the same wind is howling
When you don't know what it is all about
