Rollin And Tumblin (Chris Hillman)


Rollin' and tumblin' we carried it so far I don't see an end in sight
It's not an illusion it's not an intrusion a dream I once held so tight
Can't you hear my cry in the night when there's nobody there
Do you really believe that there's nobody left who really cares

Carried it along just a little further leave all suspicion behind
Before you get swept into a situation the both of us can hardly define
The lines in your face telling such a sad sad story
You know what a crime it is to be sad and lonely

Old love letters hidden from no-one memories fading fast
Words with no meanin' have got you believing everything's gonna last
I tried to become the one that you want me to be
I just can't change the part of me you never could see

Rollin' and tumblin' we carried it so far I don't see an end in sight
It's not an illusion it's not an intrusion a dream I once held so tight
Can't you hear my cry in the night when there's nobody there
Do you really believe that there's nobody left who really cares
