The Kelly Line - Roll Back the Calendar
текст песни

The silverware is tarnished, so's the gold
I bought in, and I was sold
Up the river for a song
So I just stopped singing

Alarm bells ripped me from the dream
Of greener grass and might have beens
Guess I've known it all along
I don't need convincing

Fairytales and promises
Mistaken and misled

Roll back the calendar
Because the days have lost their shine
Look back on history books assembled
Standing neatly in a line
Turn back the second hand
See the golden days with rose tinted design

The empire fell the king is dead
Forgotten words best left unsaid
All the castles made of sand
In the wind dispersing

I hear the talk of good old days,
When exactly was this golden age?
A cloud of smoke a mirrors gleam
But the world keeps turning

Fairytales and promises
Mistaken and misled

Roll back the calendar
Because the days have lost their shine
Look back on history books assembled
Standing neatly in a line
Turn back the second hand
See the golden days with rose tinted design

Look how far from Albion we've strayed
While we search for a yesterday
That never was and never will be

When will I reach my shangri la
Will I ever get that far
Will the path come clear before me

Roll back the calendar
Because the days have lost their shine
Look back on history books assembled
Standing neatly in a line
Turn back the second hand
See the golden days with rose tinted design

Roll back the calendar
Roll back the calendar
Roll back the calendar
Roll back the calendar
