As Tears Roll By Lyrics

I've been working downtown inside my troubles

I've been working downtown inside my troubles

I've been sleeping under the bridge of highway 1

And I don't know who my savior is, as tears roll by

Oh dear heart, I know it's been a long time

And the pendulum swings so wide

I've been wrestling with the burning spear

With the burning spear

Don't want to be like this another year, as tears roll by

I could never see your perfect rainbow

Avalanche buried me deep in the snow

Murky smoke stack made me fall

Cold ambition written on my wall

I got mixed up and fell down

I got mixed up as years roll by

I could be a patriot if I could see

But the TV talkin' man, make no sense to meDaniel Lanois - As Tears Roll By - http://motolyrics.com/daniel-lanois/as-tears-roll-by-lyrics.html

And I don't know where our savior lives

And I don't know where my savior is

Building up, building down, as tears roll by

Gotta keep my spirit out of trouble

Keep myself out of trouble

But the hands of need are calling me

I feel mortality

Tumble down, tumble down, as years roll by

They were building a building like forever

Heads buried deep inside a fever

The spirit cried out from the ground

Sweet, sweet maternal sounds

Tumble, tumble, tumble down to the ground

As fears roll by

As tears roll by, as tears roll by

As tears roll by, as tears roll by
