  • Traveling lady, stay a while
    Until the night is over
    I'm just a station on your way
    I know I'm not your lover
    Well, I lived with a child of snow
    When I was a soldier
    And I fought every man for her
    Until the nights grew colder

    She used to wear her hair like you
    Except when she was sleeping
    And then she'd weave it on a loom
    Of smoke and gold and breathing

    And why are you so quiet now
    Standing there in the doorway?
    You chose your journey long before
    You came upon this highway

    Traveling lady, stay a while
    'Til the night is over
    I'm just a station on your way
    I know I'm not your lover Writer/s: Leonard Cohen
