lyrics

When We Used To Rock N'Roll

I've been on this ship a sailing
singing and a playing
to while away the weeks
Seems now I only think of how every wave crashes between us
yes every day is like a wave of her happiness that floats away
it made me weak missing her joy
and her beautiful heart and soul

(Chorus)
I love the song when we used to rock n'roll
I love the song when we used to rock n'roll
I hear now when I cry
I hear it when I say goodbye
I love the song when we used to rock n'roll
I love the song when we used to rock n'roll
I love the song we used to get by

I shifted my eyes to the sky
remembered the day we met
we spoke for hours and we never did know why

(In verse Bridge)
Time could fly and we could forget
How quickly we'd slipped into each others lives.

(Chorus)

I held my friend yesterday
he was so shook up and crazed
he told me his lover had died
her passing twisting him like a knife
It had only just begun I'd heard just like it was yesterday
when he asked for the song I wrote you
when together we sang and played

(Chorus)

Bandcamp generously sends 85% of your support directly toward my humble living expenses.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏 ... more
