As I walked on to Kendall Square
    A5
And crossed the river basin there
    C5 
The Charles was black, the sky was blue
    A5
The view was old, the bridge was new
    E5
And past the flow's constricted mouth
   F5
Commercial lines flowed mostly south
   D5
Or east across a boundless sea
      A5
Where rising soon, the star would be

Repeat Verse Chords
The tides are moved by sun and moon
The spring will last from March to June
The red line train will pass behind
As long as bridge joins stream and sky
And from that point where i did stand
I wondered at the works of man
I wondered how this walk began
Til red line train came round again

         F5       C5      G5    A5
But it's not the time to ossify
     F5       C5      G5         A5
It's not the end of wondering why
     F5           C5              G5    A5
It's not in your faith or your apostasy
     F5       C5         
It's not the end of
C5         A5
History

Repeat Verse Chords
As I can take, so I could give
If I could shop where I could live
As I can read, so I'd write books
If I could eat where I could cook
Where talkers have a place to meet
Where walkers walk along the street
And subways travel paths well hid
But ferries take you off the grid

         F5       C5      G5    A5
But it's not the time to ossify
     F5       C5      G5         A5
It's not the end of wondering why
     F5           C5              G5    A5
It's not in your faith or your apostasy
     F5       C5         
It's not the end of

D5                        F5
Predictable waves of historicity
D5                              F5
Nostalgia for gas-lit time I'll never see
D5                  C5      A5
Futurians manifest, internationalists
E5                               A5
Connected are the promenades and waterways
E5                                    D5
The living waves of harbor nights and city days
D5                                  F5
And where is the builder, was there something missed?
D5                                     G5
Hidden in the plans to the bridge that started this?

As I walked on to Founders' Square
And crossed the river basin there,
The Passaic was grey, the sky was blue
The bridge was old, the view was new
And from that point where I did stand
I wondered at the builder's plan
I wondered how this walk will end
Til path train came around again
