And On We Go - The Lilac Time

It happened in the afternoon

When soon enough was not too soon

A man was walking on the moon

Like they used to do

And I was sitting on the steps

Waiting for whatever next

A baby reached out for the breast

It all was good and new

Amazed that every breath could happen

On and on and on we go

Where we’re going we don’t know

We’ll find out tomorrow

If we find out at all

On and on and on we go

Woven in a great tableau

A winding tune on an old banjo

You heard when you were small

Still goes on for us all

I kissed you in the car

On the way to the Australian bar

And make love by the reservoir

With a girl from Cowleigh Park

There’s so much I’d like to forget

That memory has got typeset

And love becomes a silhouette

Featureless and dark

I’m amazed I am still breathing

On and on and on we go

Where we’re going we don’t know

We’ll find out tomorrow

If we find out at all

On and on and on we go

Woven in a great tableau

In Moscow and El Paso

It goes on for us all

It goes on for us all
