The river rolls like a rattlesnake

Through fields of gold

Past the hearts at stake

The sun is heavy like a looking glass

Casting shadows of a broken past

The trees hum low

They’ve seen it all

The rain beats time

on a tin-roof's call

Boots on the gravel

Of a lonesome trail

Chasing the whispers

Of a long-lost tale

Rolling river

Take me home

Where the wild winds

carve the ancient stone

Beneath your tides

My soul’s set too lose

I’ve got those howling

Rolling River Blues

The moon’s a firefly

Caught in the night

Flickering truths in its borrowed light

The road ahead swims through the haze

A needle threading through a dreamlike maze

Jackdaws cry from old pine bones

Their echoes ring near an empty throne

The gambler’s dice tumble like the rain

Rolling chances

Caught in the refrain

Rolling river

Take me home

Where the wild winds

carve the ancient stone

Beneath your tides

My soul’s set too lose

I’ve got those howling

Rolling River Blues

The air hangs thick with the scent of pine

A memory stirs, a love that was mine

The river whispers secrets it can't hold

Of stories written in days of old

Rolling river, carry me on

Until the darkness turns to dawn

Beneath your grace

I'll find my Peace

Let these Rolling River Blues

Finally Cease
