The air's as hard as granite Streams are running deep I walk my childhood's bare familiar hills A sandwich in my pocket To keep the living cheap With every hour and every day to fill CHORUS And the world always turns to evening And it's moving beneath my feet And your face is a lighted window On a long dark street
And the world always turns to evening And it's moving beneath my feet And your face is a lighted window On a long dark street Cranes above the river Are rusting in their sleep I walk beyond them, sun or rain or snow It's fifteen miles to sunset Whatever path I keep Fifteen miles and all my life to go CHORUS
