Roll On, Sweet River, Roll On

Verse 1

Midnight river run, cool mist rising

Barefoot on the bank, toes in the sand

Let the moonlit whispers find me

Heart wide open, here I stand

Slow drifting breeze, lazy current carrying away

Silver shivers on my skin, hush now, don't say

Chorus

Roll on, sweet river, roll on

Take me where the wind blows strong

Roll on, sweet river, roll on

Where the wild things sing all night long

Post-Chorus

Roll on, roll on

Roll on, roll on

Verse 2

Old dog sleeping by the willow, soft sighs in the grass

Lanterns flicker on the water, shadows swirl and pass

Lost in the laughter, echoes fading with the flow

Lay my trouble down by the river, let it go

Chorus

Roll on, sweet river, roll on

Take me where the wind blows strong

Roll on, sweet river, roll on

Where the wild things sing all night long

Post-Chorus

Roll on, roll on

Roll on, roll on

Bridge

Maybe I’ll find freedom drifting by the cypress line

Maybe I’ll find peace floating slow in my mind

Give me that river turning, silver and cold

Give me that nighttime flowing, never growing old

Chorus

Roll on, sweet river, roll on

Take me where the wind blows strong

Roll on, sweet river, roll on

Where the wild things sing all night long

Post-Chorus

Roll on, roll on

Roll on, roll on
