Franklins Tower Lyrics by Grateful Dead

Franklins Tower Lyrics

    In another times forgotten space
    Your eyes looked from your mother's face
    Wallflower seed on the sand and stone
    May the four winds blow you safely home.

    Roll away the dew
    Roll away the dew
    Roll away the dew
    Roll away the dew

    I'll tell you where the four winds dwell
    In franklin's tower there hangs a bell
    It can ring, turn night to day
    It can ring like fire when you loose your way.

    Roll away the dew
    Roll away the dew
    Roll away the dew
    Roll away the dew

    God save the child that rings that bell
    It may have one good ring, baby, you can't tell
    One watch by night, one watch by day
    If you get confused listen to the music play.

    (instrumental)

    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 the wind.

    Roll away the dew
    Roll away the dew
    Roll away the dew
    Roll away the dew

    In franklin's tower the four winds sleep
    Like four lean hounds the lighthouse keep
    Wildflower seed on the sand and wind
    May the four winds blow you home again.

    Roll away the dew
    Roll away the dew
    Roll away the dew
    You'd better roll away the dew

    Roll away the dew
    Roll away the dew
    Roll away the dew
    You'd better roll away the dew - roll away.
