​Lyrics

​This is your travelling song
And I hope it sees you well
Through train rides and hotels

This is your travelling song
And on the window of the train
With your finger write my name

But I could sell my watch and buy a ticket
But my dear I fear I would impede
So this is your travelling song my love
I hope you find everything you need

​This is your travelling song
And here's one for the road
The highway and the code

This is your travelling song
And I won't ask you to stay
'Cause life don't work that way

But I could try and fit inside your suitcase
But my feet would stick out of the end
So this is your travelling song my love
Come find me when your travelling ends, ooh
This is your travelling song my love
Come find me when your travelling ends
