Lucy Spraggan - The Tourist Lyrics
She said she hated touristsBut she wanted to travel the worldSaid the best things in life were freeThen she worked all day to feed herselfShe said "you never know what you got until it's gone"And she complained about the rain like she'd never seen the sunShe said "good things come to those who wait"And then she waited four hours for a cancelled trainShe said..."You try and catch me, I'll never stop runningWith a pound in my pocket and my life inside a bagYou try and catch me, I know where I'm goingI'll be halfway around the world before you even know I'm gone"She said "I'm moving on"She fell in love with a book onceShe fell in love with the pageShe fell in love with the authorDidn't remember his nameShe read 'your soul weighs nothing but a lump in your throat''The one's you see less are the one's you love most'So she burnt that book and flew down to the coastShe said..."You try and catch me, I'll never stop runningWith a pound in my pocket and my life inside a bagYou try and catch me, I know where I'm goingI'll be halfway around the world before you even know I'm gone"She said "I'm moving on"So she's sitting on a train with her bags at her feetStories entertain every pair of ears that she meetsShe's got gold in her soulWhat she wants, nobody knowsShe's got two right feet and a bag full of clothesShe's got gold in her soulGoing nowhere slowly and that's what she needsShe's on the right track to where she'd rather beShe's got gold in her soulYou try and catch me, I'll never stop runningWith a pound in my pocket and my life inside a bagYou try and catch me, I know where I'm goingI'll be halfway around the world before you even know I'm goneShe said "I'm moving on"
