Roll Away lyrics

[Verse 1]
There were no tears at my departing
Railway line and ocean liner
Only the sound of the soldiers marching

[Chorus]
Roll away
Sail away
Far away
From mine

[Verse 2]
There is a place where they will take us
Railway line and ocean liner
There is a place where we don′t need papers

[Chorus]
Roll away
Sail away
Far away
From mine

[Verse 3]
This tenement town that houses many
Railway line and ocean liner
It never will be a home for any
[Chorus]
Roll away
Sail away
Far away
From mine

[Verse 4]
I took a job, I took a lover
Railway line and ocean liner
It was she and I, and ten thousand others

[Chorus]
Roll away
Sail away
Far away
From mine

[Verse 5]
For seven years, I left you lonely
Railway line and ocean liner
If I came home, would you even know me?

[Chorus]
Roll away
Sail away
Far away
From mine
[Chorus]
Roll away
Sail away
Far away
From mine
