Franklin's Tower

Track C3
 
[Verse 1] In another time's forgotten space Your eyes looked through your mother's face Wildflower seed on the sand and stone May the four winds blow you safely home [Chorus] Roll away the dew Roll away the dew Roll away the dew Roll away the dew [Verse 2] I'll tell you where the four winds dwell In Franklin's tower there hangs a bell It can ring, turn night to day It can ring like fire when you lose your way [Chorus] Roll away the dew Roll away the dew Roll away the dew Roll away the dew [Verse 3] God save the child who rings that bell It may have one good ring left, baby, you can't tell One watch by night, one watch by day If you get confused just listen to the music play Some come to laugh their past away Some come to make it just one more day Whichever way your pleasure tends If you plant ice you're gonna harvest wind [Chorus] Roll away the dew Roll away the dew Roll away the dew Roll away the dew [Verse 4] In Franklin's tower the four winds sleep Like four lean hounds the lighthouse keep Wildflower seed in the sand and wind May the four winds blow you home again [Chorus] Roll away the dew Roll away the dew Roll away the dew You'd better roll away the dew Roll away the dew You'd better roll away the dew (Roll away) Roll away the dew You'd better roll away the dew (Roll away) Roll away the dew Roll away the dew (Roll away) Roll away the dew [Outro] Roll away
