Lyrics
Roll Away
Written by: Bruce Hubbard
Raise my head stirred awake and my dream was over.
I realised I've been livin' on luck and chaep blues.
Where's my life I've been sleeping on the subway number 7.
Until a voice in my head told me to get on up, get on up.
Sunday Morning, nursing my Saturday Evening.
Pain in my head let's me know I'm a blue fool.
Woe and strife I've been savin all my sorrow for my someday
Till a voice in my head told me to get on up, get on up and
ROLL AWAY!
JUST ROLL AWAY!
ROLL AWAY!
JUST ROLL AWAY!
For all my wants I never knew that I needed you near me.
You called my name but I never could hear through my say.
So all my life I've been looking for the question to my answer.
Till a voice in my head told me to get on up, get on up and
ROLL AWAY!
JUST ROLL AWAY!
ROLL AWAY!
JUST ROLL AWAY!
Now I feel the wave.
Come down to save me.
I've gone astray.
But I've gotta get on up
Get on up and Roll away.
ROLL AWAY!
JUST ROLL AWAY!
ROLL AWAY!
JUST ROLL AWAY!
