Franklin’s Tower (Live at Hampton Coliseum, Hampton, VA, October 8, 1989)

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
In another time's forgotten space
Your eyes looked through your mother's face
Wildflower seed in the sand and wind
May the four winds blow you home again

[Chorus]
Roll away the dew
Roll away (Roll away) the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away (Roll away) the dew

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I'll tell you where the four winds dwell
In Franklin's tower there hangs a bell
And it can ring, turn night to day
Can ring like fire if you lose your way

[Chorus]
Oh, roll away the dew
Roll away (Roll away) the dew
Roll away (Roll away) the dew
Roll away (Roll away) the dew

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
God save thе child that rings that bell
Might have one good ring, baby, you can't tеll
One watch by night, one watch by day
If you get confused, listen to the music play

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Some come to laugh their past away
Some come to make it just one more day
Whichever way your pleasure tends
If you plant ice, you're gonna harvest wind

[Chorus]
Roll away (Roll away) the dew
Roll away (Roll away) the dew
Roll away (Roll away) the dew
Roll away (Roll away) the dew

[Verse 5]
I'll tell you where the four winds sleep
Two lean hounds the lighthouse keep
Wildflower seed in the sand and stone
May the four winds blow you safely home

[Outro]
Roll away (Roll away) the dew
Roll away (Roll away) the dew
Roll away (Roll away) the dew
Roll away (Roll away) the dew
(You better) Roll away the dew (Roll away)
(You better) Roll away the dew
(You better) Roll away (Roll away) the dew (Roll away)
Roll away the dew (Roll away)
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
