lyrics
We weaved through years like golden yarn at Rumplestiltkin’s feet
Til the anguish of a separation descended like a sheet
Like first-born children unaware and slowly comes the fateful day
When a freedom barely grasped through rightful hands must pass away
(Let it roll)
Let it roll, let it rain down on my soul
(Let it roll)
Let it roll, let it fill my words with drawl oh let it roll
(Let it roll)
Let it roll, let it echo through the hall
(Let it roll)
Let it roll, let it rain down on my soul
Well Maxwell he got married yeah
Adam left the band
Matthew he ain’t gonna play those evil skins again
Oh tell me where is our lost innocence
Where did I go wrong?
To be moaning through this microphone
To sing this helpless song
Let it roll, let it rain down on my soul
(Let it roll)
Let it roll, let it fill my words with drawl oh let it roll
(Let it roll)
Let it roll, let it echo through the hall
(Let it roll)
Let it roll, let it rain down on my soul
We invented stories and the generations passed
Till our children lived in loneliness and pain just to enact
The sense of long-forgotten comfort in the lyric of a song
Tell me why am I still moaning; tell me where did I go wrong
Let it roll, let it rain down on my soul
(Let it roll)
Let it roll, let it fill my words with drawl oh let it roll
(Let it roll)
Let it roll, let it echo through the hall
(Let it roll)
Let it roll, let it rain down on my soul
Til the anguish of a separation descended like a sheet
Like first-born children unaware and slowly comes the fateful day
When a freedom barely grasped through rightful hands must pass away
(Let it roll)
Let it roll, let it rain down on my soul
(Let it roll)
Let it roll, let it fill my words with drawl oh let it roll
(Let it roll)
Let it roll, let it echo through the hall
(Let it roll)
Let it roll, let it rain down on my soul
Well Maxwell he got married yeah
Adam left the band
Matthew he ain’t gonna play those evil skins again
Oh tell me where is our lost innocence
Where did I go wrong?
To be moaning through this microphone
To sing this helpless song
Let it roll, let it rain down on my soul
(Let it roll)
Let it roll, let it fill my words with drawl oh let it roll
(Let it roll)
Let it roll, let it echo through the hall
(Let it roll)
Let it roll, let it rain down on my soul
We invented stories and the generations passed
Till our children lived in loneliness and pain just to enact
The sense of long-forgotten comfort in the lyric of a song
Tell me why am I still moaning; tell me where did I go wrong
Let it roll, let it rain down on my soul
(Let it roll)
Let it roll, let it fill my words with drawl oh let it roll
(Let it roll)
Let it roll, let it echo through the hall
(Let it roll)
Let it roll, let it rain down on my soul
