Текст Robert Earl Keen – On And On

In the purple setting sun, she rides her horse around the ring
Gives him a kick, he starts to run, keeping time and galloping
They ride around until they’re free, into the wilderness unknown
Living out her fantasy on that brave strawberry roan

On and on (on and on)
On and on

He locks the door, dims the light, trims the knob, flips a switch
He plays a chord, it sounds alright, his head is light, his fingers twitch
He plays the rythm and the blues from midnight to the dawn
Singin’ «Have You Heard The News» like there ain’t no other song

On and on
On and on

On and on from the beginning
Round and round this world keeps spinning
All alone (all alone)
On and on

In the summer of the loon, on a hidden harbor shore
By the shimmering moon they never wanted nothin’ more
And there ain’t another sound they been waitin’ for so long
She takes his hand and pulls him down and their love lives on and on

On and on (on and on)
On and on

Standin’ by his father’s grave, trying hard to find a tear
Preacher says Jesus saves but he did not save him here
And he wonders right out loud «daddy, where did we go wrong?»
As his sad bewildered cryin’ leaves him starin’ at the stone (at the stone)

On and on (on and on)
On and on

On and on from the beginning
Round and round this world keeps spinning
