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 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 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 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 on and on on and on on and on from the beginning round and round this world keeps spinning all alone on and on
