Roll On Your Way

Roll On Your Way

When the rain on the windowpane
Reminds you of your tears
And the music in your heart
Is just a jumble in your ears
I will be there
With a shoulder for to cry on
I’ll be there

Sometimes I’m not the best of friends
I’m not the best of men
Sometimes you think I’ll leave your world
And not come back again
But I will be there
When you need someone to cling to
I’ll be there

Roll on your way like a boat upon the ocean
We’ll leave our trials on the troubled shore
Roll on your way, and I’ll go rolling with you
And we will roll till we roll no more

When the burden that you carry
Gets too heavy to disguise
And the pain you hold inside
Casts a shadow in your eyes
I will be there
When you need me most of all, babe
I’ll be there

Roll on your way like a boat upon the ocean
We’ll leave our trials on the troubled shore
Roll on your way, and I’ll go rolling with you
And we will roll till we roll no more
Roll on your way like a boat upon the ocean
We’ll leave our trials on the troubled shore
Roll on your way, and I’ll go rolling with you
And we will roll till we roll no more

This song appears on Tom Chapin's Common Ground CD.
