there is a place where the sidewalk ends
and before the streets begin,
and there the grass grows soft and white,
and there the sun glows crimson bright,
and the moon-bird rests from his flight
to cool the peppermint wind.
let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
and the dark street winds and bends.
past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
we shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
and watch where the chalk-white arrows go
to a place where the sidewalk ends
yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
and we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
for the children, they mark, and the children they know
the place where the sidewalk ends.
