|
Love endures, it clings away |
|
When asked to leave, it begs to stay |
|
Like the perfect song at imperfect times |
|
It's the way the chords struck with the rhymes |
|
So let your troubles roll by |
|
He knows he can help himself |
|
He can tell by a look at the books on his shelf |
|
And someone, somewhere loses her son |
|
Before her own sunset is said and done |
|
And she dreams of sunflowers bent-over |
|
Frozen in the snow and thinks Colorado |
|
But then plays her life back in slow motion |
|
To keep in touch with that raw emotion |
|
In the night, crushed empty can |
|
Olive oil is waiting for her man |
|
To come in from the fight |
|
That will change their life for good this time |
|
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by |
|
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by |
|
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by |
|
Let your troubles roll by |
|
Like New Year's eve, tonight's underway |
|
But tomorrow you'll wake up afraid of the day |
|
'Cause underneath the scars of your broken dreams |
|
An undone war still wages and stings |
|
You fear the year will blow |
|
Like a breeze through a rainbow |
|
You swear it's there, but you can't grab a hold |
|
So you sit and cry and wonder why, why |
|
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by |
|
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by |
|
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by |
|
Let your troubles roll by |
|
So many cities and windows and lives |
|
And through each one there's a soul that strives to survive |
|
So pay no mind, my sorrow's fine |
|
The day is alive and that's why I cry |
|
It's a New Year's toast, grab your list to conspire |
|
The last snake hissed as he was thrown in the fire |
|
You've come far, and though you're far from the end |
|
You don't mind where you are, 'cause you know where you've been |
|
Like a culture vulture sprawled out on the floor |
|
Like a dead devil sailor washed up on the shore |
|
With nothing of note but the old captains coat |
|
And a burning boat, you just sank with your salty tears dry |
|
Let your troubles roll by |
|
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by |
|
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by |
|
Let your troubles roll by |
