Let Your Troubles Roll By

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 chords struck with the rhymes
 So let your troubles roll by
 ♪
 He knows he can help himself
 He can tell by a look at the books on his shelf
 And someone, somewhere loses her son
 Before her own sunset is said and done
 And she dreams of sunflowers bent-over
 Frozen in the snow and thinks Colorado
 But then plays her life back in slow motion
 To keep in touch with that raw emotion
 In the night, crushed empty can
 Olive oil is 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
 'Cause 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 a hold
 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 captains 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
