Peter, Paul & Mary - Rolling Home Lyrics
Truth, with all its far out schemes,Lets time decide what it should mean;Its not the time but just the dreams that die.And sometimes when the room is still,Time with so much truth to kill,Leaves you by the window sill so tiedWithout a wing, to take you high,Without a clue to tell you why.Now, I just want to keep my name, not bother anybodys gameWithout ideas of gold or fame or insane heights.I dont want a lot of money, I dont want a playboy bunny,Just a love to call me honey late at night,In my arms, by my side, in my arms late at night.Chorus:But I dont know, I aint been told,Evrybody wants a hand to hold.Theyre so afraid of being old,So scared of dying, so unknownAnd so alone, rollin home.Well, I see the ones who crawl like molesWho for a front would trade their souls,A broken mirrors the only hole for them;And for you whod exchange yourselves,Just to be somebody else,Pretending things you never felt or meant;Hey, you dont live what you defend,You cant give so you just bend.Now if you care what people think,Like they supplied some missing link;Theyll just stand back and watch you sink so slow.Theyll never help you to decide,Theyll only take you for a ride,After which theyll try and hide the fact that they dont knowWhat you should do, where you should go,What you should do, where you should go.(chorus)Theres nothing big I want to prove,No mountains that I need to move,Or even claim whats right or true for you.My sights, my songs are slightly charred,You might think they miss their mark,But things are only what they are and nothing newBut for me, I think theyll do,But for me, I think theyll do.Well, I can see a king and queen, a beggar falling at my feet;They all must see the same sad dreams at night;Futility and senseless war, pit the rich against the poor,While cause is buried long before the fightFor what was wrong, for what was right,Its just the strong, who ever says whats right.(chorus)
