"Roll Them Bones" lyrics
"Roll Them Bones"
Hard times so you'll be leaving
It's not the season for lying or deceiving
Wouldn't want to hurt you for no reason
Here's to the loving and the lying and the teasing
Still she's got to find her way back home
Then she's got to find her way alone
Well you got to roll them bones
Till your mother says no
Then you got to roll them bones
There ain't nothing you can do
But roll them bones
Cathy cried but nothing mattered
He just beat her and he cheat her and he flattered
She took his lies until they broke her
Now she's back and there ain't nothing going to hurt her
Still she's got to find her way back home
Then she's got to find her way alone
Well you got to roll them bones
Till your mother says no
Then you got to roll them bones
There ain't nothing you can do
But roll them bones
Pick a prize there are no winners
No high divers just trouble for beginners
She stalled for time while he abused her
Now she's back and there ain't nothing going to fool her
Still she's got to find her way back home
Then she's got to find her way alone
Well you got to roll them bones
Till your mother says no
Then you got to roll them bones
There ain't nothing you can do
But roll them bones

a kiss is still a kiss,
A sigh is just a sigh,

Barclay James Harvest - "Love On The Line" Love like a burning fire
Creeping up on you
Watch as the flame grows higher
Can you see it through?
Don't you know the dice is cast?
Got to keep on running faster than time
