about

little seventeen year old dreaming what love might me like. always getting right around the fringes of it, never directly in the center. set to head to college anyhow.

lyrics

There is a song blowin' down from the hills that you keep runnin' through
There is a whistle in the sky windin' down towards you
There is a wave, by and by, chasing after me
There is a man on the road, walkin' plain alone
With no map in his hands, he don't know where he's goin'
But he'd always said that he would be free

Roll on, roll on, roll on, into the morning blue
Hike on, hike on, hike on, I'll help you see it through
If you're alone, then you'll know you're there

There is a place in the trees where I have gone before
To make amends, bend the bends, & look for nothin' more
Than what I see, what I feel, & what I hear
There is a palace of doom, & a palace of light
There is a kingdom of day, & a kingdom of night
& lookin' round, from the ground, none of them are all that near

Roll on, roll on, roll on, into the night ahead
Hike on, hike on, hike on, I'll see the dawn instead
The past will follow you anywhere

If there's one thing I regret, it's that I missed the spring
When you came to collect all your shoes & things
& that I couldn't be there to see you go
But from the things that I hear, you didn't take it so bad
I left you a full tank of gas, now, honey, ain't you glad?
I was a fool, maybe that's true, but I just didn't know

Roll on, roll on, roll on, down by the ocean bay
Hike on, hike on, hike on, maybe you'll see the day
That I won't be here, & you won't be there
Roll on, roll on, roll on, I was fed up with trying
Move on, move on, move on, now with the morning dying
The wind blows hard everywhere
