Well we’re living here in Allentown And they’re closing all the factories down Out in Bethlehem they’re killing time Filling out forms Standing in line Well our fathers fought the Second World War Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore Met our mothers in the USO Asked them to dance Danced with them slow And we’re living here in Allentown But the restlessness was handed down And it’s getting very hard to stay Well we’re waiting here in Allentown For the Pennsylvania we never found For the promises our teachers gave If we worked hard If we behaved So the graduations hang on the wall But they never really helped us at all No they never taught us what was [...]

In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep From the mountains of faith To the river so deep I must be lookin’ for something Something sacred I lost But the river is wide And it’s too hard to cross even though I know the river is wide I walk down every evening and stand on the shore I try to cross to the opposite side So I can finally find what I’ve been looking for In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep Through the valley of fear To a river so deep I’ve been searching for something Taken out of my soul Something I’d never lose Something somebody stole I don’t [...]
