Day to day, town to town Sing my songs, travel on It's a choice that I made long ago Yesterday or tomorrow My time's mine to borrow Or share, till again I must go But sometimes, when my dreams Start to haunt me, it seems I should try settling down For a change, in some town But the years and the days Pass me by, go their ways And the changes are all that remain Though the folk I have met (Ah, how soon!) they forget When I've moved on to some other place There may be one or two When I've played and passed through Who'll remember my song or my face But sometimes, when my dreams Start to haunt me, it seems I should try settling down For a change, in some town But the years and the days Pass me by, go their ways And the changes are all that remain Please don't ask me to say Why I've chosen this way: It's just too hard for me to explain For the places I've been And the changes I've seen Tell me nothing I know stays the same
