Lyrics Ramblin' Revisited - Brendan Kelly and the Wandering Birds

Ramblin' Revisited

I’m lying here dreaming of you
Soft to the touch, just a few cubes
Beaded with sweat, smooth going down
Knocking me out in the next round
Propping me up, keeping me hard
This is the greatest heavenly reward
Now I can’t think, now I can’t breathe
Some of these guys that started like me
Turned into thieves.
Down by the dumps
Down by the docks, down in those lungs
There’s just the ash of those fiery songs
But those days are gone boys, those days are gone
And still we ramble on
Sing for the stumps where legs used to be
Pass me the bottle and pass me the beans
Stoke up the fire and hide from the guard
Swinging that stick and patrolling the yard
Now this here bindle is all I have
To show for the rambling I did in my past
Cut into soil where things don’t grow
It don’t come back.
Didn’t you know?
It only knows to go
Now here we come, slouching off back to where we begun
Burnt by that sun
Burnt but not done
Cuz in this moonlight we can still run
