Catching at dreams
Rolling along

How can you get So far off the track?
Why don't you turn around and go back?

Company
How does it happen?
- Where is the moment? - With the road
How can you miss it? Isn't it clear?
How can you let it slip out of gear?
How did you ever get there from here?
You roll How does it happen?
- How does it happen? - You just roll
Once it was all so clear
Everybody roll
How does it start to go?
Does it slip away slow
So you never even notice It's happening?
How did you get to be here?
What was the moment?
How did you get to be here?
Charley Kringas & Mary Flynn
Pick yourself a road
Get to know the countryside
Soon enough, you're merrily
Company
Merrily practicing dreams
Dreams that will explode
Waking up the countryside
Making you feel merrily, merrily
What can go wrong?
- Rolling along - Some roads are soft
And some are bumpy
Some roads you really fly
Some rides are rough And leave you jumpy
Why make it tough by getting grumpy?
Plenty of roads to try
- Some roads are soft - One trip
And some are bumpy All you get
- Some roads you really fly - Is one quick ride
Look around a bit
Some rides are rough One quick ride
And leave you jumpy
- Why make it tough - Through the countryside
By getting grumpy? Stay on the track
Plenty of roads to try
- Never look back - Some roads you really fly
Never look back Never look back
Never look back, never look
How did you get to be here?
What was the moment?
How did you get to be here?
Bending with the road
Gliding through the countryside
Merrily we roll along, roll along
Catching at dreams
Dreams that will explode
Waking up the countryside
Everybody merrily, merrily
Sing 'em your song
Rolling along
- Rolling along - Rolling a...
Hey.
