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
