Originally released by Blank Tape Levy (2009)

lyrics

I said it with a laugh
I thought you'd let it pass
The night is here the sky is clear and so am I
I said it as a prayer
But there was no one there
I kneeled beneath the dark un-ending skies.

Enroll, Enroll, Enroll,
Roll Away the Tears

I answered with a cry
There was no alibi
The noose was wrapped around my neck and I’m so sorry
So many times before
I’ve stood upon this shore
And every time it was same old story

I tried to be a machine
And not a human being
I’d pretend that I was stuck in time
While dreams would fade away
To mirrors of yesterday
In the hourglass you’ll see your last goodbye

Enroll, Enroll, Enroll,
Roll Away the Tears, Enroll, Enroll, Enroll,
Roll Away the Tears

I miss my good friends who are gone
Immortalized them in song
Sometimes I sit and wonder if they’re listening
The stars begin to fall
Like sketches on the wall
The night is here the sky is clear and so am I

Enroll, Enroll, Enroll,
Roll Away the Tears, Enroll, Enroll, Enroll,
Roll Away the Tears, Enroll, Enroll, Enroll,
Roll Away the Tears
