Alan Parsons Project, The - Days Are Numbers (The Traveller) Lyrics






The traveller is always leaving town
He never has the time to turn around
And if the road he's taken isn't leading anywhere
He seems to be completely unaware

The traveller is always leaving home
The only kind of life he's ever known
When every moment seems to be
A race against the time
There's always one more mountain left to climb

Days are numbers
Watch the stars
We can only see so far
Someday, you'll know where you are
Remember
Days are numbers
Count the stars
We can only go so far
One day, you'll know where you are

The traveller awaits the morning tide
He doesn't know what's on the other side
But something deep inside of him
Keeps telling him to go
He hasn't found a reason to say no

The traveller is only passing through
He cannot understand your point of view
Abandoning reality, unsure of what he'll find
The traveller in me is close behind

Days are numbers
Watch the stars
We can only see so far
Someday, you'll know where you are
Remember
Days are numbers
Count the stars
We can only go so far
One day, you'll know where you are

  1. M.... T....

    I've been on the fence as to putting all of my Stuff into storage and taking off solo for the Camino in Spain (followed by Sweden and Scotland...and...and....?) I'm taking this as a sign from my good friend, Uni! (aka The Universe.)

  15. Y.... ....

    I remember playing this song over and over after I broke up with the love of my life. Many years later I married a lovely woman, she's the new love of my life. Days are numbers and enjoy my new life

  21. p.... ....

    Wasn't there an official video produced for this song?

    p.... ....

    I dont think so.... The only promotional video in circulation is "Lets talk about me" the starter track of the album

    p.... ....

    @Antonio Fongaro Thank you. Is the same true for "You Don't Believe"?

    p.... ....

    @putnam83You are welcome!! i think so..... I don t know any other video made from and for this album

    p.... ....

    @putnam83 you can find maybe some amateur unofficial videos made by some aficionados... There are thousands of them made on songs of the APP😉

    p.... ....

    @Antonio Fongaro Maybe? Good grief! Maybe I just found some groundwork for my doctorate.

  22. F.... S....

    I think the Stranger Things theme is somewhat inspired by this song.

    Esta canción es simplemente espectacular

    E.... C....

    EDUARDO CARTES coincido totalmente.

  28. m.... ....

    Yes the harmonies in this song are absolutely stunning! And the fact that this core progression is one of the oldest most worn out chord progressions of all times it's the same one that the doo-wop band used C A minor f g but Alan Parson put such a spin on it that it's just absolutely beautiful one of my favorite of all time.
    It's a masterpiece!

    m.... ....

    Please elaborate :)

    m.... ....

    @putnam83 what

    m.... ....

    @SublimeHawk6 I think i was being sarcastic

  35. C.... H....

    i don think so someone when listen this kind of Music vilieve today Music is better

  36. b.... ....

    Sounds as (or more) appropriate as Christopher Cross's "Arthur Theme (Best That You Can Do)".

  37. J.... P....

    No matter how many times I listen to this song, I can not get enough! One day you'll know where you are? Yoko and John climbed a ladder in the middle of the room to read what it said on the ceiling, "You are Here!"

  38. C.... A....

    We can only see so far...

  39. J.... H....

    abandoning reality, unsure of what he ll find

  40. C.... M....

    Sensacional !! simples assim...Brazil / Rio !!

  41. M.... C....

    In my opinion, the best song about APP

  42. J.... ....

    Chris R. and Eric W. has outstanding voices.
    .

  43. l.... r....

    this a short walk. Make your walk "today" count for "tomorrow'. Enjoy "Mother" Earth. Learn to share.

  44. r.... ....

    I don't know who's bright idea was to have Donald trump cry his propaganda, but if you think you're gonna get revenue off of it, you are sadly mistaken...advertisers take notice...you tube if you don't take this crap off when I'm just trying to listen to good music...just remember everything can be replaced.

  45. t.... 0....

    This song is beautiful

    great tune//loved it when it came out...thanks for sharing.....cruising top down along marine drive in west van heading to horseshoe bay with a cool breeze flowing in the evening....teh traveller is in all of us....where do u want to go?...cheers eh...ken

  48. C.... H....

    WTF how can it be possible this song was not # 1 on bilbord what tha hell

    C.... H....

    From what I've noticed, it seems throughout his career that A. Parsons purposely avoided the spotlight. I believe MTV awarded "Eye in the Sky" as best video of the year. But only because it's MTV and they can do whatever they want, otherwise it wouldn't have surprised me if Parson's had turned down the nomination!

  49. C.... G....

    Como eu AMO essa música <3

    C.... G....

    Eu também! 😍

    C.... G....

    remember...

  50. b.... w....

    the best song among many bt alan parsons project..It also begs the question that I have been asking and searching for all my life..not only where I am...but WHY I am

  51. J.... C....

    The 80st are the best x
    Songs

  52. J.... E....

    This has to be one of my absolute best songs ever
    It reminds me of , yea me. What can I say. APP got lots of fantastic songs but, if u got to choose, well. This is my number one.

  53. J.... E....

    best APP song ever.

  54. J.... N....

    música difícil de se achar no YouTube. Escutando em 2018

    J.... N....

    Verdade. E esta aqui provavelmente foi liberada recentemente o acesso dela aqui pra nós, pq ñ faz muito que procurei por ela e o link oficial ainda ñ "existia" rs

  55. D.... M....

    Preciosa canción

  56. J.... ....

    One day, you'll know where you are...

    i pray this is so.
    Thank you Alan, Eric (RIP), Chris, and all the others for the TIMELESS music! :''')

    J.... ....

    this is what its all about...go to sleep....wake up......its a gift to be mortal...WWG1WGA ..

  57. D.... S....

    Just had six straight shots of Back Velvet and this song only is stronger in my mind.. Why do we do this torture to ourselves?? perhaps it's because we have to, but really do we?? I beat my ass daily doing this routine for 60 years, and what do I have to show for it?

  58. Z.... D....

    Esta cancion es Simplemente Espectacular!!!

    Z.... D....

    despacito es una cancion mejor que esta antiguedad

    Z.... D....

    @ximresal la música es subjetiva, por eso es importante que solo la disfrutemos, y no que estemos comparando cual es mejor ó cual es peor.
    Tu punto de vista es válido, y es genial que estés explorando música como esta, saludos.

    Z.... D....

    @ximresal Cuando crezcas y madures te sentirás avergonzada de esas palabras, te lo dice alguien de 24 años que conoce y siente la música como si fuera un sexto sentido.

    Z.... D....

    @ximresal que tipa más pelotuda.. fría ,tonta y sorda.

  59. F.... C....

    I ended a relationship with this song. No matter how much I warned of the division between us, and that persons continued apathy, I couldn’t put my feelings into words, so I made a point of playing this song. It said it all.

  60. D.... S....

    Update to my comments- Last month both my brother and I took a three week trip to Alaska. We both related our feelings about this song, and agreed it's good advice for everyone. He's doing Okay with retirement even though it was touch and go at age 70. For me, I finally let go of my past and am looking forward to my Girlfriend getting home from deployment to Kuwait in September. Her and I will make the trip to Alaska next year!!

  61. l.... ....

    My favorite A.P. song.

    l.... ....

    APP has a lot of great songs to choose just one.

  62. M.... K....

    Alan Parsons is still a favorite band. Thank you for sharing.

    M.... K....

    Alan Parson my favorite!!

  63. J.... B....

    👍""2018"👍🎷🎶🎵🎼

  64. l.... z....

    Uffff this is out of this world!!!!!

  65. I.... n....

    Brilliant, this is so true, days are numbers, count the stars....

  66. A.... ....

    I always loved this song.

  67. D.... B....

    this song only went to #71 on the pop charts in 1985!!!

    D.... B....

    Hidden behind Michael Jackson, Madonna, Wham! And Kool & the Gang... oh well, see now which music has the best shine after all those years ! Time acts as a skimmer and harvests the good grain.

  68. S.... B....

    I learned the lesson of this song too late. I was working 14+ hours a day trying against time to retire with my Wife. She died before I could do that. I grieve daily not being able to fulfill my dream. Even with a new girlfriend 35 years my junior, I'll still never achieve the dreams I had.

    S.... B....

    I hear ya buddy my wife passed from breast cancer at 47 we will never know how it could have been love Parsons since 76

    S.... B....

    35 years your junior... Just had to include that part. Pshhh, joker.

    S.... B....

    Make new ones

    S.... B....

    Yes you can. You just need to believe in yourself.

  69. S.... B....

    This song turned my brother's life around after he heard it. He's three years older thn me and was burning his candle at a furious pace, even after I had retired. He's better off from taking the advice of this song to heart.

  70. J.... L....

    Brings back alot of great memories. Miss you Dean.

  71. D.... G....

    The best of all recordings that I have heard on YT. Thank You !!! I don't think that I have ever heard a bad song from APP

  72. M.... ....

    As usual, the vocals from Chris Rainbow are stellar.

    M.... ....

    he was awesome r.i.p.
