i've taken so many down
i've helped them all to dismount
i've followed so many down
i take their hand me downs
all with hope
all with hope
that emptiness brings fullness
and loss of love brings wholeness
all with hope
all with hope
that emptiness brings fullness
and loss of love brings wholeness
to us all
everything that i believe
crawls from underneath the streets
everything i truly love
comes from somewhere far above
everything that I believe
is wrong with you is wrong with me
everything i truly love
i love in you and i love in me
so give me hope
give me hope
that emptiness brings fullness
and loss of love brings wholeness
to us all
you swear you can't swim the river
(i've become the beggar now)
(you've become the saint somehow)
but i saw you running to jump in
(i've become the beggar now)
(you've become the saint somehow)
i swore i'd never be your sinner
(i've become the beggar now)
(you've become the saint somehow)
til i held your sin
hand me downs
now you ask me why i'm here
the same as you
i'm scared - it's fear
i've become the beggar now
and you've become the saint somehow
twist the words and place the blame
and tell me now aren't we the same
tripping in our yellow feet
checking underneath our sheets
for some hope
give me hope
that emptiness brings fullness
and loss of love brings wholeness
give me hope
give me hope
that emptiness brings fullness
and loss of love brings wholeness
to us all

Standing on the bridge, peeking through the crack,
See the Golden Arrow go rollin' down the track,
Must've been the fastest train I've ever seen,
Eyes wide open as I watch that gold machine.
See the train comin' and I heard the whistle blow,
Like a flash of' lightnin', the arrow shinin' gold,
Felt so excited, left my troubles way behind,
See the Golden Arrow go rollin' down the line.
Rollin', rollin' in the rain -
Rollin', rollin' in the rain -
Rollin', rollin' in the rain -
Will I ever ride that train?
Dark clouds rollin', it's another rainy day,
Early in the morning, I have to get away,
Standing on the bridge and I'm feelin' kinda sad,
Line's all deserted and I feel so bad.
Rollin', rollin' in the rain - Rollin', rollin' in the rain,
Rollin', rollin' in the rain -
Will I ever ride that train?
{Rod - solo}
Yea-ee-yea
Rollin', rollin' in the rain - Rollin', rollin' in the rain,
Rollin', rollin' in the rain -
Will I ever ride that train?
{Instrumental}
Rollin', rollin' in the rain - Rollin', rollin' in the rain
Rollin', rollin' in the rain -
Will I ever ride that train?
Yea,
Whoo!
Gotta keep rollin'!
