Roll The Stone Away Lyrics - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

You can swim in this old river 

It's been delivered 

Since the factory shut down 

And like the river I'm waiting 

For resurrection 

Since I lost your affection 

And love left town 

There'll be no more crying 

There's no one left to blame 

Love will come out standing 

So roll that stone away 

We were good

But we could have been better 

And the best is what we're after 

When it comes right down to love 

You were always the strong one 

Bright as the setting sun 

Go shine somewhere else my love 

Some brand new world (some brand new world) 

There'll be no more crying 

There's no one left to blame 

Love will come out standing 

So roll that stone away 

And like that river I'm waiting 

For resurrection 

Since I lost your affection 

And love left town (and love left town) 

There'll be no more crying

There's no one left to blame 

Love will come out standing 

So roll that stone roll that stone 

Roll that stone away
