Wake up, my love,
Beneath a midday sun
Alone once more alone

REFRAIN:

[This/A] trav'lin' boy
Was only passing through
But he will always
Think of you

One night of love
Beside a strange young smile
As warm as I have known

Take my place
Out on the road again
I must do what I must do
Yes, I know we were lovers
But a drifter discovers

REFRAIN II:

A trav'lin' boy
Andonly passing through
But one who will always
Think of you

Take my place
Out on the road again
I must do what I must do
Yes, I know we were lovers
But a drifter discovers
That a perfect love
Won't always love forever

I won't say
That I'll be back again
'Cause time alone will tell
So no goodbyes
For one just passing through
But one who'll always think of you
No goodby
