Franklin's Tower Lyrics - Dick's Picks, Vol. 17: Boston Garden 9/25/91 - Grateful Dead

In another time's forgotten space 

Your eyes looked through your mother's face 

Wildflower seed on the sand and stone 

May the four winds blow you safely home 

Roll away, the dew 

Roll away, roll away the dew 

Roll away, roll away the dew 

Roll away, roll away the dew 

I'll tell you where the four winds dwell 

In Franklin's tower there hangs a bell 

It can ring, turn night to day 

It can ring like fire when you lose your way 

Roll away, the dew 

Roll away, roll away the dew 

Roll away, roll away the dew 

Roll away, roll away the dew 

God save the child who rings that bell 

I may have one good ring baby, you can't tell 

One watch by night, one watch by day 

If you get confused just listen to the music play 

Some come to laugh their past away 

Some come to make it just one more day 

Whichever way your pleasure tends 

If you plant ice you're gonna harvest wind 

Roll away, the dew 

Roll away, roll away the dew 

Roll away, roll away the dew 

Roll away, roll away the dew 

I'll tell you where the four winds sleep 

Like four lean hounds the lighthouse keep 

Wildflower seed in the sand and wind 

May the four winds blow you home again 

Roll away, the dew 

Roll away, roll away the dew 

Roll away, roll away the dew 

Roll away, roll away the dew
