“Lyrics © by Rick Beach 2/20/2026” “Harmonica key B flat” (INTRO) (Instrumental) (A slow, steady acoustic figure Unchanging, almost circular Like walking without counting steps) (VERSE 1) Morning settles on the road Dust hangs low in early light A mile marker leans and waits Nothing asking me to hurry (CHORUS) I keep walking through the hours Like a shadow in the sun I keep walking through the hours Till the day forgets my name (VERSE 2) Time moves sideways through the trees Leaves repeat what’s already gone Every face I’ve ever known Drifts like smoke and settles softly (CHORUS) I keep walking through the hours Like a shadow in the sun I keep walking through the hours Till the day forgets my name (VERSE 3) Some nights echo with old voices Some nights rest beside me still Different warmth, a different shape Same quiet beating underneath (CHORUS) I keep walking through the hours Like a shadow in the sun I keep walking through the hours Till the day forgets my name (OUTRO) Walking through the hours Through the hours Walking through the hours Walking through the hours
