Words by Leonard Cohen, music by Patrick Leonard and Adam Cohen
Am Dm E
Am
I'm traveling light, it's au revoir
(Am)
My once so bright, my fallen star
Dm
I'm running late, they'll close the bar
E
I used to play one mean guitar
I guess I'm just somebody who Has given up on the me and you I'm not alone, I've met a few Traveling light like we used to do
Am E
Goodnight goodnight, my fallen star I guess you're right, you always are I know you're right about the blues You live some life you'd never choose
I'm just a fool, a dreamer who Forgot to dream of the me and you I am not alone, I've met a few Traveling light like we used to do
(instrumental verse)
I'm traveling light, it's au revoir My once so bright, my fallen star I'm running late, they'll close the bar I used to play one mean guitar
I guess I'm just somebody who Has given up on the me and you I am not alone, I've met a few Traveling light like we used to do
But if the road leads back to you Must I forget the things I knew When I was friends with one or two Traveling light like we used to do
I'm traveling light
