From the recording Drop in the Bucket

(There are days when we all feel small.  This was one of those days for me.)

Lyrics

I’m just a drop in the bucket
One small fish in the sea
Billions of stars burn brighter by far
Nobody wishes on me
 
I’m just a rodeo cowboy
Learn what I know from the clowns
Land in the dirt pretend not to hurt
Don’t let em know when you’re down
 
And the band plays on
Nobody knows that you’re gone
And the band plays on
And nobody knows…
 
I’m just a slip of a shadow
Tied to a wayward balloon
Floating above everything that I love 
Here between home and the moon
 
And the band plays on
Nobody knows that you’re gone
And the band plays on
And nobody knows…
