"On & On (Mersey Tune)" by 10000 Maniacs

Music by 10,000 Maniacs - Lyrics by Mary Ramsey 

Out through the foggy window there
just to see the eyes of my future children 
looking back at me 
back through the foggy window
on and on
miles pass years turn over
on and on
there from that rolled down window 
ponies run free cradled protectively
there in the greenery somewhere
I keep this picture 
on and on
miles pass years turn over 
on and on 
for all the roads we've travelled 
and all the bridges burned 
I was thinking out loud the ways of the world 
that all seem so constant 
how few of the lessons we really have learned. 
out through the foggy window frozen in frame 
capturing passing pictures life's lastrefrain, 
memories ashes scatter 
on and on 
miles pass years turn over 
on and on.
