Starlight in Schenectady

Walking by starlight in old Schenectady
And I don't know where I'm bound
Listen to the songs from the café down the street
I surely love the sound
And the years they do so swiftly roll
And all day long it's trouble and toil

But I'm walking by starlight in old Schenectady
And it's home, it's home I've found

Listen to the river in the summer as she moves
I swear she's singing some song
Listen to the dogs as they're barking at the moon
Prepared to right all wrongs
Now the waters do so slowly flow
While the years they do so silent go

But I'm walking by starlight in old Schenectady
It's home, it's home I've found

My friends don't understand why I moved unto this place
With its streets so narrow and old
But at night I see the hint of a visionary fire
That leads me, it leads me on
Now the waters do so slowly flow
While the years they do so silent go

And I'm walking by starlight in old Schenectady,
It's home, it's home I've found

There's legends in this place where we've chosen to live
And rumors of ghosts yet unfound
There's stories for the telling, in the evening by the stove
A still unwritten song
And the nights they do so swiftly move
And the days are still so full of love

But I'm walking by starlight in old Schenectady
It's home, it's home I've found

Walking by starlight in old Schenectady
And I don't know where I'm bound
I'm walking by starlight in old Schenectady
It's home, it's home I've found
