Carbon Leaf - Let Your Troubles Roll By lyrics

Love endures, it clings away
When asked to leave, it begs to stay
Like the perfect song at imperfect times
It's the way the chord's
Struck with the rhyme
So let your troubles roll by

He knows he can help himself
He can tell by a look at
The books on his shelf
Then someone somewhere loses a son
Before her own sunset is said and done

And she dreams of sunflowers bent-over
Frozen in snow and thinks Colorado
Then lives her life back in slow motion
To keep in touch with that raw emotion

In the night, crushed empty can
Olive Oyl's waiting for her man
To come in from the fight
That will change their life
For good this time

When all of your tears dry
Let your troubles roll by
When all of your tears dry
Let your troubles roll by
When all of your tears dry
Let your troubles roll by
Let your troubles roll by

Like New Year's Eve, tonight's underway
But tomorrow you'll wake up afraid of the day
Because underneath the scars of
Your broken dreams
An undone war still wages and stings

You fear the year will blow
Like a breeze through a rainbow
You swear it's there
But you can't grab ahold
So you sit and cry and wonder why, why

When all of your tears dry
Let your troubles roll by
When all of your tears dry
Let your troubles roll by
When all of your tears dry
Let your troubles roll by
Let your troubles roll by

So many cities and windows and lives
And through each one there's a
Soul that strives to survive
So pay no mind, my sorrow's fine
The day is alive, and that's why I cry

It's a New Year's toast
Grab your list to conspire
The last snake hissed as he
Was thrown in the fire you've come far
And though you're far from the end
You don't mind where you are cause
You know where you've been

Like a culture vulture sprawled
Out on the floor
Like a dead devil sailor washed
Up on the shore with nothing of note but
The old captain's coat
And a burning boat you just
Sank with your salty

Tears dry let your troubles roll by
When all of your tears dry
Let your troubles roll by
When all of your tears dry
Let your troubles roll by
Let your troubles roll by
