Golden Earring - Nomad Lyrics






Gone, with the northern sun
'cross that far horizon
World of a thousand faces
I can't find my oases
There's a black ice in the sky
And wells are runnin' dry
Doomed to voyage till life's end
Load up, strike campaign

Gone, along the highway ribbons
Past city dwellings
I can see how far they are
From the stickers on their cars
But I'm a nomad
Can't look far ahead
It's a voyage till life's end
Load up, strike campaign

Doomed to travel till life's end
Load up

Yeah I've seen you down below
From my hotel window
On the run, Star Trek's on
We've got a dream in common
We've got a dream in common
We've got a dream

  1. j.... c....

    Listen to this album with headphones - is that even a thing anymore? - trippy from beginning to end. So much going on in the background...
    With or without hallucinagenics...

  2. A.... E....

    For me this album has the best drumparts of Cesar. Its so much on spot!!

  3. J.... D....

    Switch was my favourite album by far...to the hilt a bit disappointing. ..

  4. M.... G....

    Kooymans background howls are so haunting excellent guitar work. Kooymans had to of been some kind of economical secret weapon. The guy can sing like a woman so they don’t need to hire chicks for vocals. He has shrieks that would make king diamond jealous. Makes me wonder if some of the early Earring influenced him. Back to this song. It combines Yes and Pink Floyd effectively. Reminds me of both bands but GE effectively puts their special stamp on it. Music to take drugs to!

  5. S.... M....

    Absolutely one of the most under rated albums ever.

  6. S.... M....

    ok...I've been listening to why me for a couple of days now and no wonder it was one of my favorite records in the 70s (saw them in Santa Monica right after this came out) and I realize now how radar love was probably a curse because I never really heard them any more. bummer. p.s. still a great album. made in a real studio with analog equipment. sounds better that way

  7. C.... v....

    Great album, great song!

  8. A.... G....

    Love this

    A.... G....

    I also am Aries with gemin rising. a lot of march/ April birthdays where I'm at.

  9. s.... ....

    When i listening to this song i get high even without weed :-)

  10. T.... V....

    The guitar piece always blows my mind in this song.

  11. A.... E....

    One of my favorite Earring songs. This song is great but also listen to what the rhythm section does. Just amazing

  12. B.... S....

    No dislikes! No wonder! How can anyone mix such intellectual lyrics with such talented musicianship? I can listen to this song straight and think I'm tripping!

  13. C.... J....

    like the new album; thanks stephen jarvis x(posted a small part

  14. L.... B....

    My favorite Golden Earring cut. Fucking brilliant.

  15. M.... D....

    IMO "Eight miles high", "Moontan", "Wall of Dolls" and most from "Seven tears" are their peak but nevertheless they wrote great music through all the 70s

  16. R.... C....

    I personally don't think the 'To the Hilt' album can hold a candle to 'Moontan', but it was a nice step in the progressive direction, though it's a bit too heavy overall on the synthesizer for my tastes.  But I like the moodiness of this song (as well as 'Violins', too).  The band aborted this direction and went for a different sound on their next release.          

  18. S.... F....

    this album is amazing.not a song on this record i dont like. the first golden earring record i bought at the age of 8 years old!!!

  19. d.... ....

    @CantDoThatOnStage I totally agree. its amazing to me how incredible this album is and how utterly unknown GE is in the States outside of their two hits. Thank God i was an army brat and went to school in Germany, got turned on to real music at a nice young age. "Switch is my second favorite.

  20. T.... ....

    you guys are absolutely right!!! one of my old bands played "to the hilt" in 1992, the drummer loved it, I got this when I was 14,it was a little over my head, but I grew to LOVE it after about a year-long songs,very sophisticated arrangements-

  21. k.... ....

    Yep best album and the best least known song of the earring if you ask me!
