about

The confession of the rambler who gets tired of a swept-by-the-wind life is a recurring theme in many musical traditions. Here's my contribution.

lyrics

As driftwood I’ve lived most of my days
And I didn’t feel bad
Places I’ve been, Things I have seen
Now they’re all in my head
I lived more in one day than most people do
In their whole lifetime
I do not draw pride of it, it was just the way I had
To sway to the wind

As tumbleweed I have lived and it was good
At least most of the time
The faces I met sometimes they were rude
Mostly they were kind
I tasted the milk of human kindness
And the poison of hate
I never despised homebodies but my fate
Was to sway to the wind

Free as a cloud I have long travelled
Now I need a rest
I want to grow roots, I wanna bear fruit
I need a soil I will know
Gotta to see the same sun rise time and again
But never shed the same light
On a place I will call home, no longer
Will I sway to the wind
