Sunlight fading in the afternoon

Shadows crawl across the land

Tired backs bending in the afternoon
Am G
Pockets glove the tired hand

Walking slowly to the domicile,
Am
Built from mud and board and tears
Am
Dreams unloosening the hidden smile
Am G
He's been saving up for years
D F A

Rapture secretly turns to speak

Tantalizing those who are weak

Offering in low, languid tones

Houses that cannot be homes

Pioneering spirit abounds

In dreams that we keep fastening down

Dreams that to live must be free

To touch each man's destiny

Turn and dig your heels in the road

Don't be bound or trapped by the old
