[Verse 1]
The air's as hard as granite
Streams are running deep
I walk my childhood's bare familiar hills

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
Cranes above the river
Are rusting in their sleep
I walk beyond them, sun or rain or snow

[Verse 4]
It's fifteen miles to sunset
Whatever path I keep
Fifteen miles and all my life to go
[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
