Sweet River Roll Lyrics - Waterdeep

Homebound Henry's got a tumor in his head 

He wakes up sweating every morning after dreaming he was dead 

He used to think that life was boring, but now that's not the case 

He turns to his wife in the evening 

He says "Honey I'm afraid I'm gonna lose this race" 

Sweet River roll 

All over me 

Sweet River roll, hey 

All over me 

Soaking wet Juliet, she lives in a well full of tears 

Her husband left her for some bimbo after twenty-two years 

Now she's got to start all over, but she's just so terrified 

She thinks it woulda been so much easier if he woulda just died 

Sweet River roll 

All over me 

Sweet River roll, hey 

All over me 

Now I'm lookin' out my car window sittin' in the pouring rain 

Although your house is fifteen miles away, I can still feel your pain 

Now I've thought and prayed and worked it 

Through about a hundred times or more 

How your soul just cries to everyone to help you get up off the floor 

Right now it's morning, you're probably sleepin' 

I bet you're totally unaware 

Of the flood of kisses you hold back by the way that you despair 

It ain't me I'm talking about here, or anybody else you can touch 

That's all I want to say right now, I don't want to say too much 

Except Sweet Jesus roll 

Roll all over me 

Sweet Jesus roll, hey 

All over me 

Sweet Jesus, oh you has to roll, hey 

You gotta roll all over me 

Sweet Jesus, oh You has to roll, hey 

And use to set me free 

Ahh just set me free, hey
