Travelling Woman Lyrics

Cover art for Travelling Woman lyrics by Bat for Lashes

Hang on travelling woman dont sacrifice your plan Cos it will come back to you before you lose it on the man Never fall in love with potential cos you can't see with your own eyes All the pretty faces and sorry words can take away your pride Got to listen to the vision Some may say a dream, words from the unseen

The whole album is about love vs lonely and pearl vs natasha and i think this deals with the former debate. It's a song to herself saying not to give up on anything- keeping looking, don't let your dreams fade away for anyone else, don't think about things that have passed on by and don't let anyone change your mind because you know what you want.

They can make you tired, tell you lies, make you fall Make you tired, tell you lies, make you fall Make you tired, tell you lies, make you fall

Getting what you want may be tiring, difficult and change your opinions.

Hang on travelling woman, dont sacrifice your plan Cos it will come back to you before you lose it on the man Got to listen to the vision Got to listen to the vision Play in the ashes of what you once were

But stick at it, listen to yourself and don't be afraid and upset by the things that have hurt you- think about how it has benefitted you.
