Roll With the Wind - Brian Rose

    The muffled feet shuffle in the street
    It's a funeral dirge that I have played
    The buttoned coats the zippered notes
    I loved and lost and was blown away

    But I will roll with the wind, roll with the wind,
    It's a lonely soul that rolls with the wind

    The vacant walks the desperate talks
    It's a heroes hand that I have played
    The shriek of brakes the double takes
    I faced the truth and was blown away

    But I will roll with the wind, roll with the wind,
    It's a lonely soul that rolls with the wind

    The carving knives the starving lives
    It's a cruel game that I have played
    the coattailsthe jealous jails
    I grew up fast and was blown away

    But I will roll with the wind, roll with the wind,
    It's a lonely soul that rolls with the wind

    The just man the hard land
    It's an old tune that I have played
    The blood ties the tired eyes
    I cut my roots and was blown away

    But I will roll with the wind, roll with the wind
    It's a lonely soul that rolls with the wind

    The naked skin the camera lens
    It's a straight mans part that I have played
    The whispered words the wings of birds
    I breathed the air and was blown away

    But I will roll with the wind, roll with the wind
    It's a lonely soul that rolls with the wind.
