Lyrics
The evening paints the pavement gold The market stalls are folding up I strap the basket to the frame And you hold out a paper cup We walk the bicycles a while Too full of laughter to ride Then someone's foot is on a pedal And the whole town opens wide Pedal us home under the streetlights One by one they bloom above Every wheel a turning promise Every lamp a little love Singing down the sleepy avenue Voices rising with the chain Pedal us home under the streetlights And we'll find our way again A baker waves from his back door A cat looks up and doesn't care The hill that scared us in the morning Is only a ribbon of air Pedal us home under the streetlights One by one they bloom above Every wheel a turning promise Every lamp a little love Singing down the sleepy avenue Voices rising with the chain Pedal us home under the streetlights And we'll find our way again Tell me the road is long Tell me I won't mind Every mile I ride beside you Is a mile I'm glad to find Pedal us home under the streetlights One by one they bloom above Every wheel a turning promise Every lamp a little love Singing down the sleepy avenue Voices rising with the chain Pedal us home under the streetlights We have found our way again Home, home Pedal us home
