Roll along summer Wispering through my window pane Wake me up and whole again With a sway Skate upon-something, Get me up and out of bed Put a volt right through my head To beyond
You been down and out and blue Take no notice of the moon - shame Ol' man river's after you Said you ain't done what you said you would It's a shame Shame
Roll along summer Breathing life into the world Creating space that wasn't there Before
Forever in your shadow It's darkness I can face (I'm) proud to feel I can find a place Somewhere behind
You been down and out and blue Take no notice of the moon - shame Ol' man river's after you Said you ain't done what you said you would It's a shame - shame Shame on you
Roll along, beautiful lover, Show me things I've never seen Lighting up an ancient beam - for me to see
