Roll back the Clouds
(Christy Hennessy - Redemption Songs)
[Verse]
I've been sitting Ghere so long, for you to hear my Csong,
And all you Dwant to know, have I been on the Gradio,
Who's the biggest Gstar I've seen, what is my favourite Cscene,
And if I Dget the job would I sing on GMars.
Yes Sir I would Gsing on Mars, I'd play upon a Cstar,
I'd sing Dsongs of the Sun and when my Gjob was done,
I would say I Glove you so, I'd like to play one Cmore,
Just for Dall young lovers, for the Groad.
[Chorus]
CTell me Son, yeah Gjust how far,
CI need to go to Dbe a star.
[Verse]
I have known my Ghighs and lows, I've worked in every Cshow,
I've played in Devery town, brought some Ghouses down,
The critics never Gnoticed me, I'm not a star you Csee,
And yet I Dgive my heart to every Gpart.
I would stand for Ghours and hours, I'd walk through some Cshowers,
With my Ddancing shoes and my Gdreams and views,
I walk upon an Gempty stage with one light in my Cface,
To be Dtold don't phone us, but we'll phone Gyou.
[Chorus]
CTell me Son, yeah Gjust how far,
CI need to go to Dbe a star.
[Bridge]
Every day the Gsame old scene, the same old happenCings,
A hundred Dmiles of shows and no Gplace to go,
And when your luck has Gall run out, you're asked to take a Cbow,
You've just Dstolen the show now you're on your Gown.
[Chorus]
CYes Sir I would Gsing on Mars,
CMy dream scene is Dme a star,
[Outro]
Is Dme a star,
I am a Gstar.
