CARBON LEAF LYRICS - Raise The Roof

"Raise The Roof"



Raise the roof, that I might see the stars

To gain wisdom, to see things for what they are

Please, I need proof



Dance till you fall

Love till you die

Shut your mouth

Raise the roof



Trapped in the snare with too much dreaming to bear

Fearful and frantic, hopeless and a romantic

Inspired but tired, I run this wide-open course

Like the sagging spirit of an older horse



Dance till you fall

Love till you die

Shut your mouth

Raise the roof



Dance till you fall

Love till you die

Shut your mouth

Raise the roof



Peel back this backdrop, like the lids from my eyes

Put you in plain view, let me visualize

Touch me again in my dreams till I feel

Touch me again till I wake and it's real



Dance till you fall

Love till you die

Shut your mouth

Raise the roof



Dance till you fall

Love till you die

Shut your mouth

Raise the roof



The wisest advice to me that I didn't reach

Was to lock up the heart, but keep the key within reach

Touch me again in my dreams till I feel

Touch me again till I wake and it's real



Dance till you fall

Love till you die

Shut your mouth

Raise the roof



Dance till you fall

Love till you die

Shut your mouth

Raise the roof



Dance till you fall

Love till you die

Shut your mouth

Raise the roof



Dance till you fall

Love till you die

Raise the roof



Dance till you fall

Love till you die

Raise the roof
