Every 24 Hours Songtext
von Peter Case

Driving 12 hours after the show
Hit the boarder at dawn and 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
I pray the Lord for her soul to keep
Tomorrow will tell who's been tending the sheep
The world turns every 24 hours

Ah, turns every 24 hours
Ah, it turns every 24 hours

Under a bridge in the black squalling rain
I could see then but just for an instant
The wind hauled, the morning roared like a train
And the skyline was lost in the distance


Who moves the furniture? Who hit the light?
Every thing's changing but nothing seems right
I thought I was smart but that was last night
The world turns every 24 hours

Ah, turns every 24 hours
Ah, turns every 24 hours
Turns every 24 hours

So the arrows were down and the way through the town
Was blocked by the flood and a crash site
The cop waved me through but I thought of you
′Cross ten thousand miles of moonlight

Our life′s opportunity moves with great speed
Pay close attention, it's not guaranteed
We live in the whirl of wonder and greed
And it turns every 24 hours

Ah, turns every 24 hours
Ah, turns every 24 hours
Ah, turns every 24 hours
Ah, turns every 24 hours
