A hazy mist hung down the street The length of it's mile as far as my eye could see The sky so wide, the houses tall Or so they seemed to be so they seemed to me so small And it gleamed in the distance And it shone like the sun Like silver and gold It went on and on it went on and on Summer nights that seemed so long Always call me back to return as I rewrite this song The ghosts of night, the dreams of day Make me swirl and fall and hold me in this way And it's still in the distance And it shines like the sun Like silver and gold It goes on and on, it goes on and on It goes on and on, it goes on and on Rolling stock rocked me to sleep Amber lights flashing 'cross the street And on the corner a dream to meet Going on and on Rolling stock rocked me to sleep Amber lights flashing 'cross the street And on the corner a dream to meet It goes on and on, going on and on It goes on and on, it goes on and on Yeah on and on
