Roll On (Song for Anne Marie)

Music and Lyrics by Alastair Moock ©2007 Moockshake Music

Pocket of pennies
Mother of pearl
Keeper of secrets
Lost in the world
Hands to your hips
Feet to the floor
Heart in your throat
Head for the door

Chorus:
Roll on sweet Anne Marie roll on roll on
Roll on sweet Anne Marie roll on roll on

What have you done
Left him for good
Everyone’s said
For years that you should
It’s easy to talk
Harder to leave
Everything that you’ve known
Everything you believed

Chorus

Plenty of fish
Left in the sea
Don’t know if I’ve got
Any bait left in me
And what do I tell
My sweet little one
How do you say
Your daddy is gone

Chorus

Head on your hands
Arms on your knees
Slow summer night
Cool evening breeze
Star in the sky
Ash on the ground
One life is lost
A new life is found

Chorus
