Lyrics
[Verse 1] You roll past the pond where the ducks tuck in Cool air on your face, day thinning to blue Your front wheel follows the curve of the path And every last worry falls back out of view [Pre-Chorus] The bench lights are coming on one by one A red leaf turns circles beneath your tires You lean into the bend, then straighten out With the whole wide evening opening higher [Chorus] Ride on, ride on, the park is yours tonight Past the old stone bridge, through the copper light Your legs find a rhythm, your heart takes flight Ride on, ride on, till the day folds out of sight [Verse 2] A sprinkler clicks off by the tennis-court fence The trees let the last warm air slip through You coast by the gate with your hands loose and sure Free as the lane that keeps opening to you [Pre-Chorus] The sky turns plum over rooftops far off A bell rings once where the trail meets the grass You push for the rise, then let gravity work And laugh as the quiet comes rushing past [Chorus] Ride on, ride on, the park is yours tonight Past the old stone bridge, through the copper light Your legs find a rhythm, your heart takes flight Ride on, ride on, till the day folds out of sight [Bridge] No schedule to chase, no place you must be Just the path, the breeze, and the room to breathe One more loop around as the first lamps shine The fading day and your freedom in time [Final chorus] Ride on, ride on, the park is yours tonight Past the old stone bridge, through the copper light Your legs find a rhythm, your heart takes flight Ride on, ride on, till the day folds out of sight [Outro] One more turn, one more breath, one more mile The dusk settles in, and you carry the smile
