Roll Away the Tears Lyrics by Julian Taylor

Anthology Vol. 1

2023

[Verse 1]
I said it with a laugh
I thought you'd let it pass
The night is here, the sky is clear and so am I
I said it as a prayer
But there was no one there
I kneeled beneath the dark and unending skies
[Chorus 1]
And roll, and roll, and roll
And roll, and roll, and roll
And roll, and roll away all your tears
[Verse 2]
I answered with a cry
There was no alibi
The noose was wrapped around my neck and I’m so sorry
So many times before
I’ve stood upon this shore
And every time it was the same old story
[Chorus 1]
And roll, and roll, and roll
And roll, and roll, and roll
And roll, and roll away all your tears
[Verse 3]
I tried to be a machine
And not a human being
I’d prеtend that I was just stuck in time
While drеams would fade away
Into mirrors of yesterday
In the hourglass you’d see your last goodbye
[Chorus 2]
And roll, and roll, and roll
And roll, and roll, and roll
And roll, and roll away all your tears
And roll, and roll, and roll
And roll, and roll, and roll
And roll, and roll away all your tears
[Bridge]
I miss my good friends who’ve gone
Immortalized them in song
Sometimes I sit and wonder if they’re listening
While stars begin to fall
Dark sketches on the wall
The night is here, the sky is clear and so am I
[Chorus 2]
And roll, and roll, and roll
And roll, and roll, and roll
And roll, and roll away all your tears
And roll, and roll, and roll
And roll, and roll, and roll
And roll, and roll away all your tears
