Peter Case - Every 24 Hours lyrics

Case Driving twelve hours after the show Hit the boarder at dawn & kept going As the moon crossed my path, I was doing the math Will I make it? There's no way of knowing I should've called home fore She went to sleep Now I pray the lord for Her soul to keep Tomorrow will tell Who's been tending the sheep The world turns every 24 hours Under a bridge in the black squalling rain I could see then but just for an instant As the wind hauled the morning roared like a train & the skyline was lost in the distance Who moved the furniture? Who hit the light? Everything's changing But nothin' seems right. I thought I was smart But that was last night The world turns every 24 hours The arrows were down & the way through the town Was blocked by the flood & a crash site The cop waved me through but I thought of you 'Cross ten thousand miles of moonlight Life's opportunity Moves with great speed Pay close attention It's not guaranteed We live in the whirl of Wonder and greed The world turns every 24 hours
