David Gillespie:Roll To Me

The view from up here is quite something tonight
You can see for miles around
Down below, pinpoints of light
But it’s been days since I heard a familiar sound

The Captain’s voice takes me over the edge
And nothing here is quite the way I thought it would be
There’s a voice ringing inside my head
Saying something about being young and free

And we watch the lights go down
What a time to roll to me
And I wade through the sights and sounds
And when there’s no one around it rolls to me

The dark skies are closing in
They say it’ll rain all through the year
And I can’t tell how long it’s been
Since that voice started ringing in my ear

And we watch the lights go down
What a time to roll to me
And I wade through the sights and sounds
And when there’s no one around it rolls to me

So don’t you know me now
I’m supposed to be alone so I can see
The road that runs before me now
But I’m haunted by the way
You roll to me

And we watch the lights go down
What a time to roll to me
And I wade through the sights and sounds
When there’s no one around

So I’ll wait to feel it somehow
All falling down it rolls to me
And if all that matters is here and now
Then I’m coming around as you
Roll to me
