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
|
|

Movin' On
