The Icicle Works - Travelling Chest lyrics

Tell me fair young maiden Will you take me as your own For I must face this journey with a reason to come home There's danger 'cross the deep salt sea God knows what we may find Armed with musket, pipe and drums You'll still be on my mind As the wind blows, so the time goes Take us where we long to be My travelling chest My good companion Though I'm gone Your heart belongs to me Tell me fair young maiden Will you take me as your own There's danger at the factory gates The picket line has grown While you're sleeping in your bed My love consider this I'll make my weary way home To the promise of your kiss As the wind blows, so the time goes Take us where we long to be My travelling chest My good companion Though I'm gone Your heart belongs to me I'm so ill at ease and weary when I'm down Seem to loose those shackles When you bring your love around Strange as it seems, I'm lost for words When I speak, I'm not heard, I'm aware you're waiting for me
