The Traveler
Frank Mills Lyrics
Oh my love the days are shorter now
The mornings getting colder
This restless heart is calling once again
I'm not one for tranquil waters
And the storm within me's growing
I'm a traveler and I'd best be on my way
Sail away, sail away, sail away across the ocean
Sail away, sail away, far away across the ocean
In your heart I think you've always known
It wasn't right for me to stay so long
Let's just say it wasn't meant to be
You sure deserve much better
I'm a traveler and its best that I be gone
Sail away, sail away, sail away across the ocean
Sail away, sail away, far away across the ocean
Please don't tell me that I'm searching
For a question never answered
For the answer's in the searching
That's my way
Always moving, always searching
That's the way of all the travelers
I'm a traveler and I'd best be on my way
Sail away, sail away, sail away across the ocean
Sail away, sail away, far away across the ocean

Frank Mills (born June 27, 1942), is a Canadian pianist and recording artist, best known for his solo instrumental hit "Music Box Dancer".
Born in Quebec, Mills began his career as a member of The Bells, a group in which he was a member from 1970 to 1972. He performed piano for the band, whose best-known hit was "Stay Awhile" (1971). After leaving The Bells in 1972, Mills began a solo career.

His first solo efforts hardly made a dent in the music charts, although his 1972 single "Love Me, Love Me, Love" reached as high as #46 on the Billboard charts and a cover of Ricky Nelson's "Poor Little Fool" was also successful in Canada (both songs featured Mills singing as well as playing piano). When Polydor Records heard one of his songs, "Music Box Dancer" and saw the potential of the song, Mills released it as a single and it became a smash, reaching #3 in the USA in the spring of 1979. It was Mills' only U.S. Top 40 hit; the follow-up, another similarly catchy piano instrumental titled "Peter Piper", peaked at #56.
Mills won two Juno Awards in 1980 for "Peter Piper", one for Composer of the Year and one for Instrumental Artist of the Year. He again won in the latter category in 1981.
He continued to release albums until the early 1990s, but has now retired from the music business.
