Roll Along Summer

Paul Weller · Other Songs - Paul Weller

Roll along summer

Whispering through my window pane

Wake me up and whole again

With a sway

Skate upon-something,

Get me up and out of bed

Put a volt right through my head

To beyond



You been down and out and blue

Take no notice of the moon, shame

Ol' man river's after you

Said you ain't done what you said you would

It's a shame

Shame



Roll along summer

Breathing life into the world

Creating space that wasn't there

Before



Forever in your shadow

It's darkness I can face

(I'm) proud to feel I can find a place

Somewhere behind



You been down and out and blue

Take no notice of the moon, shame

Ol' man river's after you

Said you ain't done what you said you would

It's a shame, shame

Shame on you



Roll along, beautiful lover,

Show me things I've never seen

Lighting up an ancient beam, for me to see
