lyrics

When first I started walking
Didn't know I had already begun
Searching for an answer calling
Waiting on the other side of the sun
When first I started talking
Didn't know a song but I had sung
I'd sung for my supper
Long ago before, when I was young

When the leaf falls off the tree
It don't care if the wind blows or no
And if it blows it rides for free
With ne'er a care of where it goes
And if the stone tumbles in the water
Doesn't get picked up and tossed again
It gets deep buried down under
Back in the earth where it began

Like my father told me you've got to
Grow your skin don't let it show
Even if it comes to be
You're out in the cold with nowhere to go
I've come to know my shell
So well, I've come to call it home
And even though I must be leaving
I'm takin' it with me when I go

I'm a nomad at heart, always have wheels for roaming. My music fuels my wheels and my wheels fuel my song. It's one big never ending machine of life.
