Every 24 Hours Lyrics by Peter Case

Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John

0

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 a world of
Wonder and greed

And it turns every 24 hours
