Song About Traveling - The Innocence Mission

A man said Why, why does traveling

in cars and in trains make him feel sad,

a beautiful sadness.

I’ve felt this before.

It’s the people in the cities you’ll never know,

it is everything you pass by,

wondering, will you ever return?

The colors of rowboats, the greens and the blues.

Orange grove side streets you only see halfway.

And beaches in winter

and when kites are flown.

It’s the people in the cities you’ll never know,

it is everything you pass by,

wondering, will you ever return?
