Carpenter, Mary Chapin - What Does It Mean To Travel Lyrics
From departure to arrival
what does it mean to travel
With your suitcase by the handle
holding everything you need
walking slow or running
Toward somebody or from something
trade your longing in for speed
and the freedom to be a stranger
is a bargain that's ours alone
sometimes you just want to be someone else
unencumbered and unknown
From departure to arrival
And from taking off to landing
you could feel your heart expanding
You walked halfway down Manhattan
till you met the Brooklyn Bridge
and in a 2 AM transmission
from a high wire act position
how the skyline behind you glistened
as if someone pulled a switch
and I don't want to be a stranger
and I don't want to be alone
but sometimes I just want to be somewhere else
untethered and unknown
when I am far from home
From departure to arrival
what does it mean to travel

"What Does It Mean To Travel"
From departure to arrival
what does it mean to travel
With your suitcase by the handle
holding everything you need
Are you going or are you coming
walking slow or running
Toward somebody or from something
trade your longing in for speed
and the freedom to be a stranger
is a bargain that's ours alone
sometimes you just want to be someone else
unencumbered and unknown
From departure to arrival
what does it mean to travel
And from taking off to landing
you could feel your heart expanding
You walked halfway down Manhattan
till you met the Brooklyn Bridge
and in a 2 AM transmission
from a high wire act position
how the skyline behind you glistened
as if someone pulled a switch
and I don't want to be a stranger
and I don't want to be alone
but sometimes I just want to be somewhere else
untethered and unknown
when I am far from home

One of my favorites MCC, so underrated.....she should have received wider acclaim and attention....love her voice....great character to it...
One of the greatest songwriters of all time. Nobody paints a picture with lyrics like she does.
Beautiful song, beautiful lady.
Wonderful song. I heard it's a metaphor for life, but we've been traveling for five years and can really relate.
MCC just gets better and better.
beautiful !!
