Only forty more blocks to walk
And it's after midnight again
Well I could complain, but it's only a
Temporary situation that I find myself in
Instead it's an opportunity to open up my mind
To see the city sleepin'
While the moon up above shines my way home
Arrive in a town that you've never been
You soon findin' your way round'
You notice small details that you had not before found
Like traces in the countryside
That's all that's left here now
Rusted signs and telephone lines
Took it's place all somehow
And some things you know never change
Like the Eastern sun and the Summer rains
People takin' chances on dreams
And not much more
Riskin' what they know for what might lie in store
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
What ya' take and ya' don't give back
May run out someday, before too long
We use what we need from the land
That's a fact
It's a part of our history and a piece of this song
Gimme just one street
With some people in a town
Where I can sing of an experience
Along my way I've found
To feel a sense of freedom
If only for a minute or two
And to put things in perspective
With some help from all of you
Into this world, a spirit I came
With nothing to lose you know and
Nothing to gain
And out of this world, a spirit I will go
Takin' only what I've learned
Will be all I have to show
And some things you know never change
Like the Eastern sun and the Summer rains
People takin' chances on dreams
And not much more
Riskin' what they know for what might lie in store
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
