Well, we’re big rock singers  
We got golden fingers  
And we’re loved everywhere we go (“That sounds like us”)  
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth  
At ten thousand dollars a show (right)  
We take all kinds of pills that give us all kind of thrills  
But the thrill we’ve never known  
Is the thrill that’ll getcha when you get your picture  
On the cover of the Rollin’ Stone

How does it feel?  
How does it feel?  
To be on your own  
With no direction home  
A complete unknown  
Like a rolling stone?

It’s such a strange change that you put me through  
But like a fool I fell in love with you  
What can this poor boy do

Roll away the stone  
Don’t leave me here all alone  
Resurrect me and protect me  
Don’t leave me layin’ here  
What will they do in two thousand years yeah

Time may change me  
But I can’t trace time –  
I said that time may change me  
But I can’t trace time.

Goodbye my love  
Maybe for forever  
Goodbye my love  
The tide waits for me  
Who knows when we shall meet again  
If ever  
But time  
Keeps flowing like a river  
To the sea

Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing?  
Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago?  
Where have all the flowers gone?  
Young girls have picked them everyone.  
Oh, when will they ever learn?  
Oh, when will they ever learn?

Young girls are coming to the canyon  
And in the mornings I can see them walkin’  
I can no longer keep my blinds drawn  
And I can’t keep myself from talkin’

If I listened long enough to you  
I’d find a way to believe that it’s all true  
Knowing that you lied  
Straight-faced while I cried  
Still I look to find a reason to believe

If I could turn the page  
In time, then I’d rearrange just a day or two  
(Close my, close my, close my eyes)  
But I couldn’t find a way  
So I’ll settle for one day to believe in you  
(Tell me, tell me, tell me lies)
