[Travel Is My] Mistress
Travel is my mistress, as she knows me
And I savor every moment we have
On a mountain or somewhere by the sea
To anywhere and everywhere I love
Travel is my mistress without a doubt
And I smile widely each time I travel
Inside an ice cave or somewhere about
The destination does not quite matter
Travel is my mistress and my delight
And I find myself every single time
Getting lost somewhere while chasing the light
Near or farther away, always sublime
Travel is my mistress, and she loves me
And I yearn for her every single day
