This is a simple love song my wife helped me write. Thanks to Captain Fantastic for bringing it to life.

Roll Away (c) 2011
lyrics & music - Mr & Mrs toadman
 
I don't bein' alone and I don't care if you don't come home
You're not blind but you can't see you're rolling away on a distant sea
When we met the sparks were set when our hands touched
I just want the girl I knew to be here with me, love renewed

I don't mind the endless fights, the lonliness late at night
You're not deaf but you can't hear the words I use are borne in fear
When we met the sparks were set when our hand touched
I just want the girl I knew to be here with me, love renewed
     
You'll do anything for one of your friends but for me you won't even pretend
That the ties that bind have grown so cold and soon we'll be bored just playing these roles

I don't mind the wasted years, the empty talk, the pointless tears
I don't regret the seed we've sown but I don't want to be on my own
When we met the sparks were set when our hands touched
Won't you please roll back to me, won't you please roll back to me?

Nice dreamy sound,upload us a wav or ape if you can Toadman,I am wondering what the origins of your moniker are,I read a story about australian hells angels who boil down poisonous toads to make a hallucinogenic paste!

That's good one, Captain. I've read somewhere that the side effects (8.9 on the Richter scale of nausea) make it a risky business.
My older brother said to my younger son once "Hey toadboy" so I just picked it when I needed a nom de plume quickly.
I've sent a copy of this off to a woman who used to sing it way back. I'm waiting to see what see thinks.
I've done an ape. for ya.
