Oh, naive little me,

Asking what things you have seen

You're vulnerable in your head

You'll scream and you'll wail till you're dead

Creatures veiled by night

Following things that aren't right

And they're tired and they need to be led

They'll scream and they'll wail till they're dead

But give me to a rambling man;

Let it always be known that that was who I am

Beaten battered and cold

My children will live just to grow old

But if I sit here and weep

I’ll be blown over by the slightest of breeze

And the weak need to be led

And the tender are carried to their bed

And it’s a pale and cold affair

And I’ll be damned if I'll be found there

But give me to a rambling man;

Let it always be known that that was who I am

It’s funny how the first chords you come to

Are the minor notes that come to serenade you

It’s hard to accept yourself as someone...you don’t desire

As someone you don't want to be

But give me to a rambling man;

Let it always be known that that was who I am

But give me to a rambling man;

Let it always be known that that was who I am
