Franklin's Tower

The 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... the dew

Roll away... the dew

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... the dew

Roll away... the dew

Roll away... the dew



God help the child who rings that bell

It may have one good ring left, you can't tell

One watch by night, one watch by day

If you get confused just listen to the music play



Roll away... the dew...

Roll away... the dew

Roll away... the dew

Roll away... the dew



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... the dew

Roll away... the dew

Roll away... the dew



In Franklin's Tower 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... the dew

Roll away... the dew

Roll away... the dew

You better roll away the dew
