Roll Away

There were no tears at my departing

Railway line and ocean liner

Only the sound of the soldiers marching

Roll away

Sail away

Far away

From mine

There is a place where they will take us

Railway line and ocean liner

There is a place where we don′t need papers

Roll away

Sail away

Far away

From mine

This tenement town that houses many

Railway line and ocean liner

It never will be a home for any

Roll away

Sail away

Far away

From mine

I took a job, I took a lover

Railway line and ocean liner

It was she and I, and ten thousand others

Roll away

Sail away

Far away

From mine

For seven years, I left you lonely

Railway line and ocean liner

If I came home, would you even know me?

Roll away

Sail away

Far away

From mine

Roll away

Sail away

Far away

From mine
