Bobby Lee

Late morning, midnight, sunny Tuesday gloom

Silence under shutters, stillness in the room

Bobby Lee, Bobby Lee, this cave?s too dark for me

I gotta go out where the wind can find my face

And I just hope that you?ll see eventually

That I was only trying to roll the stone away, roll the stone away

The years and the seasons, the tide and the breeze

They come and bring their changes

So you call them all your enemies

Bobby Lee, Bobby Lee, I don?t think I can breathe

And the walls get closer every single day

Yeah, and it?s true I?m gonna leave, I just hope you can believe

How hard I really tried to roll that stone away, roll that stone away

Sorrow comes a knocking but you won?t let her inside

So she goes away with a joy, her little sister

But she?s looking back in her tracks, a tear in her eye

And Bobby Lee, Bobby Lee, I believe it?s killing me

And I got no other words that I can say

But I pray every night that someday you might

Find a way to roll that stone away

And Bobby Lee, Bobby Lee, oh, you meant the world to me

And I'll miss you more than I could ever say

But I tried for so long and no one is that strong

I think it?s you who?s gotta roll that stone away

Roll that stone, roll that stone, oh, roll that stone
