Paroles de Roll On Down

look oh how high i stand on this dune

the sand shifting shapes

and i hope, i hope i will shift some too
yes i hope i'll shift some soon



and look how the water dances on top the sand

out tens of hundreds of miles

and it's the dream in this heat to reach it 'fore dark

but i fear that by then she'll be dried



but there is no falling off this mound

no matter its height you can only roll down

down down down
without much prompting from me

and i know, i know they'll cut out on me too

yes i know they'll drop me real soon



look at the band of travelers you're with

would you risk your life to save theirs

it's the law of the land to get what you can

and preserve all that can't be procured



look oh how red seems to bleed into blue

as the sun sinks to his grave

and i fear, i fear i will sink to mine too

yes i fear i'll sink to it soon
