Movin' On

I'll see my mother again I know

I see her everywhere I go

Sometimes I see my father too

Pourin' over blueprints that he drew

He made his way with sweat and brains

So I could ride this first class train

Well, he didn't even know where to

Only knew it wouldn't be long

Always movin' on

Sing a song about the big ship goin' down

Grandma cried, Grandpa too

Then we went to town to get some ice cream

See a picture show

Come back and take a swim in the lake's moon glow

Well, I knew then there were no watery graves

Just tears and laughter and moonlight on the waves

Then the cryin' of the mornin' loon

Pretty soon summers' gone

Always movin' on

My wife's mama lyin' in a dyin' bed

They've anointed her with oils and some words are being said

Somethin' about the soul bein' present eternally

Does that mean I'll be seein' you , babe

And will you be seein' me

Twilight's dimmin' down another day

Been some moments I didn't wanna let slip away

As if they wouldn't, as if I could

Stay in a place where time just stood

Like wood and steel in a watery grave

No tears no laughter, no moonlight on the waves

Well there's no place like that, it's true

Right here's where you and I belong

Always movin' on

Always movin' on
