Chapter Two

I’m a travelling girl;

I travel the world to find you.

One day I will and you and I will be together forever.

When you walked away you didn’t know, how much you’d come to mean to me.

It wasn’t easy then to tell you now you’re gone and I can’t find you.

I watched you go, never thinking I’d never see you again.

It would never be the same when you went away, it would never be the same until you're home.

I’m a travelling girl;

I travel the world to find you.

One day I will and you and I will be together forever.

Experience tells me that you will never come back to me, but I’ll search for eternity.

There’s always the chance I will see you looking out for me when you do,

I’ll be there to tell you, I love you.

I’m a travelling girl; I travel the world to find you.

One day I will and you and I will be together forever.

As I sit here singing this song for you and look upon the sea of faces.

The only face I want to see staring at me is you and I will;

I will one day and have you back to stay.

I live to love you again and will never fail to seek you out.

And one day soon you will know how much I miss your smiling face.

I’m a travelling girl; I travel the world to find you.

One day I will and you and I will be together forever.

I’m a travelling girl….

 

Chapter Three

Innocently I loved; it was real for me, another notch for you.

One day you just never returned and I cried for the innocence that left me that day.

As you ride the waves of this life, you go through the barriers of the heart and hide.

When you reach that part of your existence that asks you to trust again, you look at it and cynically laugh, for you say never again.

As you ride the waves of this life, you go through the barriers of the heart and hide.

In every season of your life you ask the same question, it's just presented in another form.

All that’s gone is the innocence lost so long ago.

As you ride the waves of life, you go through the barriers of the heart and hide.

When you’re old, you might live to regret the chances that came and you did refrain, but never forgot the pain, of the stain of the love that remains buried deep in the cavern that once was your faith, and innocent love was safe.

As you ride the waves of this life, you go through the barriers of the heart and hide.


Chapter Six

When you said you would be there for me I believed you.

When the darkness came and no one was around to shed the light you brought a torch and showed me what it was all about.

You support me, you have faith in me, you hold my hand and you will cry with me. 

And when the time comes, you will provide a smile for me. You are my invaluable friend.

When you saw me fail, you picked me up, dusted me off and told me to try again.

You never talked, you just grinned and made me smile all over again.

You support me, you have faith in me, you hold my hand and you will cry with me.

And when the time comes, you will provide a smile for me.

You are my invaluable friend.

When I told of my loves you listened and gave your approval with a glance.

Never wavering in that look, no matter if the love never took, it was there unfailingly just for me.

You support me, you have faith in me, you hold my hand and you will cry with me.

And when the time comes, you will provide a smile for me. You are my invaluable friend.

As I grow older I know that no matter where in the world you are, you will always be the shoulder that I cry on, the shoulder that I laugh on, the shoulder that I rely on.

You will be the one thing that remains constant; you will be simply my friend.

'You support me, you have faith in me, you hold my hand and you will cry with me.

And when the time comes, you will provide a smile for me.

You are my invaluable friend.

 


Chapter Eleven

What made you change your mind?

I can’t believe it you said you’re leaving with me.

Was it something I said?

Something I did?

Tell me please I need you so.

What made you change your mind?

You said you would come with me and let me protect you no matter what.

I know I’m not the best that the world has to offer, but I would be there regardless the cost.

What made you change your mind?

When you accepted my offer you made my life come on fire.

My heart, it was singing, my body was ringing with the happiness you were bringing.

What made you change your mind?

As I step out the door, I wait to hear you take your place at my side.

As I leave this place my heart will ache if you’re not here with me.

What made you change your mind?

How many roads will I travel alone?

What dreams will I shed now that you stay away from me?

Whatever will it take for you to come home to me, for you are my home no matter the place?

You are where my dreams come true and my thoughts are true.

What made you change your mind.
