Song Information:

Out of the deep recesses of my mind comes this little oddity. I guess it's sort of about who I am and why I'm here. It's a little weird but at the same time mellow. Thanks, all!
I play acoustic guitar, bass guitar, Kurzweil organ, electric guitar, and Jampack 4 orchestral instruments. I use Drums on Demand drum loops (a downloadable organic set in 6/8; check out their website!)

Song Lyrics:

I dont know what I mean to say
My mind is like a burlap bag bursting at the seams
Im too tired to laugh today
As Ive hauled around this shabby dream
Day in day out it wears at me
The daily escape at night serves up a frown
I dont know what to feel exactly
When the circus is missing a clown

Im a rambler and so easily burned
This sleepy life is what Ive earned
Slow to rise; too soon to fall
Through shuttered eyes the trumpets call

Weve grown up in an endless strip mall
Talking to some fiction of ourselves
Self help books line the walls
And I want to pull down the shelf
You take a breath and the world falls
Voting for the average but settling for less
Waiting for the lottery to call
And ending up staring at emptiness

Im a rambler and Ive always been
Prone to get lost in what-might-have-been
Slow to rise; too soon to fall
At the end of the day, you say is that all?

The wind blows soft through the reeds
The river has the headwaters on which it feeds
All amounts to nothing too heavy in the end
My friend

Dont take it too seriously
Ill come back to the point
Dont get yourself too easily
Twisted all out of joint
Youve always meant something special to me
Even if my references are obscure
Id be lost if ever you did leave
Of that I am sure

Im a rambler but Ive settled down
The only place that Ive wanted to hang around
If youll have me Ill be ever so grateful
Thanks, pal!
