Roll On River

by Lindisfarne

Craddock-Gibson

Step by step, we climb the stairs in search of something far away
Day by day, we fade away and watch each other disappear
Maybe it's all in vain trying to suit my pain

On the river bay and all along the way side
There are crowds of unbelievers
There's nothing ever said, all is in their faces
All are hopeless cases

So roll on, river, river, roll on
Roll on, river, forever roll on

Step by step, we climb the stairs in search of something far away
Day by day, we fade away and watch each other disappear

Winding river

There's nothing ever said, all is in their faces
All are hopeless cases

So roll on, river, river, roll on
Roll on, river, forever roll on

Hopelessly we try to .... the boats of every broken dream
Drifting with my only friends and sinking as the river bents

Winding river

Roll on, river, river, roll on
Roll on, river, forever roll on
Roll on, river, river, roll on
Roll on, river, roll on, river
