Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You got the cool water
When the fever runs high
You got the look of love light in your eyes
And I was in crazy motion
'Til you calmed me down
It took a little time
But you calmed me down
[Verse 2]
Whoa, let me live in your city
The river's so pretty
The air is so fine
Rent me a room
Where I can lay over
I'm just a traveler
Eatin' up travelin' time
I'm just a traveler
Eatin' up my travelin' time
[Verse 3]
They got a wall in China
It's a thousand miles long
To keep out the foreigners
They built it strong
And I got a wall around me
You can't even see
It took a little time
To get to me
[Verse 4]
Whoa, let me live in your city
The river's so pretty
The air is so fine
Rent me a room
Where I can lay over
I'm just a traveler
Eatin' up travelin' time
I'm just a traveler
Eatin' up my travelin' time
[Verse 5]
Some people never say the words, "I love you"
It's not their style to be so bold
Some people never say those words, "I love you"
But like a child, they're longing to be told
[Verse 6]
Let me live in that city
The river's so pretty
The air is so fine
Rent me a room
Where I can lay over
I'm just a traveler
Eatin' up travelin' time
I'm just a traveler
Eatin' up my travelin' time
