==Lyrics==
The love cry of the traveling man goes 
No one knows who I am 
But I'm as priceless as a brass ring 
That's losing the heat from your hand

A quiet man sits quietly learning his lesson 
The slow smooth wheel of disintegration 
You don't want them to talk to you 
No you don't want to take part 
You say, "Just get me back to the leper colony 
'Cause that's where you left my heart."

I feel time pass by like a joy no medicine can preserve 
Somewhere along the line I lost my nerve

Maybe I'm almost there

Give me the keys to your theme park 
Bury me under your layer of snow 
And watch me ride all the rides 
Around and around I go

I don't know if I've reached the bottom yet 
And I don't know if the ice has finally begun to set 
I feel time pass like a joy I tried so hard to relearn 
But somewhere along the line 
I passed the point of no return

Maybe I'm almost there

The love cry of the traveling man goes 
No one knows who I am 
But I'm as priceless as a brass ring 
That's losing the heat from your hand
