Roll along summer
Whispering through my window pane
Wake me up and whole again
With a sway
Skate upon-something,
Get me up and out of bed
Put a volt right through my head
To beyond

You been down and out and blue
Take no notice of the moon, shame
Ol' man river's after you
Said you ain't done what you said you would
It's a shame
Shame

Roll along summer
Breathing life into the world
Creating space that wasn't there
Before

Forever in your shadow
It's darkness I can face
(I'm) proud to feel I can find a place
Somewhere behind

You been down and out and blue
Take no notice of the moon, shame
Ol' man river's after you
Said you ain't done what you said you would
It's a shame, shame
Shame on you

Roll along, beautiful lover,
Show me things I've never seen
Lighting up an ancient beam, for me to see
