lyrics

Well I know that I'm searching for something
and I can't rightly say I know what
I've traversed the salt seas
I've crossed lochs, bridges, quays
And in each shining place
I think I should stay put
But my restless soul won't allow it
Though my feet might tell me
I should quit
It's a big wide old world
and I'll tramp on the soil
of every darn meter of it

CHORUS:
So maybe I'll just toddle back to my swamp
or maybe I'll stay in Berlin
Or perhaps I'll be guiled
by some tropical isle
while I wait for this cycle
to end or begin
Or maybe I'll just never find it
No matter how far I may roam
Well I've hung up my hat
in so many a town
And I've still never found me a home

And the people I meet are so charming
They have talent and wit and finesse
I have lovers and friends
in the world's far-flug ends
And I'm sad to part with them upon my egress
It's like something inside me is broken
when I dig up a hole to plant roots
I might stick in a toe
but then it's time to go
'Cuz the wind and I, we're in cahoots

CHORUS

Well I'm ready to drink the Kool-Aid
on some magical, mystical place
My soul is all bent
and my flesh is all flayed
And thought the tourism bureaus
have plead a good case
There's something I've always found lacking
Wherever I happen to be
I may do this or that
It's distracting myself
from the one simple constant
It's me

CHORUS

END
