Walking at Dusk (The Liberty Bell) Lyrics

I've been walking at dusk, just walking
With these lonely man's blues on my back
I've been down to the well
And I've been to the Liberty Bell
But it looks to be getting a crack
And I've been talking about love, just talking
And it seems like I don't get nowhere
So maybe I ought to go
To just where I don't know
But it looks to be other than here

And if I was a lighthouse I would shine out on the ocean
If I was a train I would always run on time
Safely on their way I would send God's weary travelers
And when my time was done I would leave it all behind
Well I've been thinking about war just, thinking
I've been beating my plowshares thin
I sought my own redress
I read the Gettysburg Address
But old Abe it seems a hard road to win
And I've been playing my guitar, just playing
And I'm running out of good things to say
I saw what there was to see
And they give me a Bachelor's degree
And I think it's time now that I was away

And if I was a light house I would shine out on the ocean
If I was a train I would always run on time
Safely on their way I would send gods weary travelers
And when my time was done I would leave it all behind
