Carbon Leaf - Let Your Troubles Roll By Lyrics
Love endures, it clings away
When asked to leave, it begs to stay
Like the perfect song, at imperfect times
It's the way the chords struck with the rhymes
So let your troubles roll by...
He knows he can help himself
He can tell by a look at the books on his shelf
And someone, somewhere loses her son
Before her own sunset is said and done
And she dreams of sunflowers bent-over
Frozen in snow, and thinks 'Colorado.. ?'
But then plays her life back in slow motion
To keep in touch with that raw emotion
Olive Oyle is waiting for her man
To come in from the fight
That will change their life
'For good this time...'
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by
Like New Year's Eve, tonight's underway
But tomorrow you'll wake up afraid of the day
'Cause underneath the scars of your broken dreams
An undone war still wages and stings
You fear the year will blow
Like a breeze through a rainbow
You swear it's there, but you can't grab a hold
So you sit and cry and wonder why, why...
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by
So many cities and windows and lives
And through each one there's a soul that strives to survive
So pay no mind, my sorrow's fine
The day is a live and that's why I cry
It's a New Year's toast, grab your list to conspire
The last snake hissed as he was thrown in the fire
You've come far, and though you're far from the end
You don't mind where you are, cause you know where you've been
Like a culture vulture sprawled out on the floor
Like a dead devil sailor washed up on the shore
With nothing of note but the ole' Capt.'s coat
And a burning boat you just sank with your salty tears...

Carbon Leaf Let Your Troubles Roll By Comments
Que musica linda♥️♥️
thank you Curious George for introducing me to Carbon Leaf
Dewey Smoke SAME!
There's something about this song that just from the opening chords brings images of worn wood, wool voyageur blankets, a fire and a hot drink in a tin mug. It's such a melancholy song, but it's still the perfect soundtrack to relaxing at the cabin after a long day working out in the snow. These guys aren't from anywhere near where I grew up, but it all just reminds me of the northwoods for some reason.
I totally agree!
This was my dad's favorite song and we played it at his funeral

Outstanding
AMAZING SONG + ALBUM. Remember me and best buddy Jesse would drive around D.c. listening to this album back in 2002-2003. Of all the mainstream FAKE ASS music that's out there, THAT ALBUM WAS AS REAL AS IT GOT. Still listening in 17' and FOR LIFE.
I just discovered this song yesterday! love it
Was humming this song since last two weeks but was unable to recall lyrics and finally found this damn lovely song. Let the troubles roll by!!!
if the world tragically ended tomorrow this song would be in my top 10 play list.
One of my all time favorite songs. I was driving my daughter's car this morning and her stereo was playing mp3s, lots of rap, I was moving around to find something a little more my speed and this came on. I had to snapchat her a pic of video clip of me singing at the top of my lungs driving her car. Good to know that some of my musical interests were shared by her! #caitlinrose
You done good old man.
Going to see them in September!!!! This song reminds me of my mom so much.. How she has overcome the death of her son.. depression.. anxiety.. And she is still going <3
It's beautiful the love you show for your mom. How was the show ?
So sad I missed them in their hometown Richmond VA!!! So sad, going to cry, lol, AWESOME BAND!!!
This song was already one of my favorites but at #RagtimeCarnival when Ben Daniels and the other artists came out and jammed out on this song with Carbon Leaf.....lets just say once in a lifetime special! Amaze balls!
agree. RIP ragtime.. :(
This is the best song ever! I love it so much. = p
I would like to take my girlfriend to see this band in september at the mim museum.
+Zack Gomez I'm happy for you, buddy.
really good band
Damn nice sonic touches in there!! Reminds me a bit of a modern Paul Simon album.
Still, Barry and Max have similar vocal stylings.
i truly love this song so moving....
I swear to God, the singer of Carbon Leaf sounds like Max Collins of Eve 6. Did Eve 6 influence these guys?
Carbon leaf predates Eve 6, so no.
Great Band!
Interesting fact: one of their videos has Katy Perry in it. (Learn to fly)
So, the album cover?
I really like them, but they are not very good video makers.
It's not their video, bro.
I played with Whit Ward, their old guitarist..... Formed a group in Washington state while we were in the military........ He wrote this song for them and we sang it every day :) Love Ya brother :)
This song gives me a feeling of a long car trip in the middle of summer where it's just hot and dusty and there's nothing in particular to look at out of the window. I like that.
I saw them live right after they released this album, I think I almost cried when "What about everything" played. They had so much harmonic pipe infused in the music it really set the mood in. Ever since they had gotten rid of that unique sound, their music has been lacking. I will always remember that concert and Indian Summer though.
Damn comment name changing screen!!! Probably got off the weed. Everything falls apart at that point. I do like a couple of the tracks off the new album. But it's because you can hear that milky fresh melody coming through. It thick like syrup. Eat it with a spoon if i could. Music tastes good yo!!!
Loved your CDs, loved your live shows, will always love you guys.
CURIOUS GEORGE
Mia Crawford YES! 😍
love this band. I was introduced young and never stopped listening
This is the best Carbon Leaf album by far. Sad they moved away from this style. This was raw and beautiful, now I feel like they're trying too hard to hit the mainstream. Not as bad as some other bands, but they lost their nitche IMO.
They played tonight near my town! Brilliant stuff. Love these guys.
heard of them because they're on of my son's favorite movies "Curiuos George 2" and I thought all the music was so beautiful and relaxing so I looked the soundtrack up and a majority of the songs are by Carbon Leaf. Love these songs <3
I've never heard of this band before, but I really like this music. And randomly enough, cleverbot suggested it to me.
My friend sent me this song as something she wanted me to learn how to play. Her taste in music is one of the top 3 things I love about her(: Thank Lydia!
@FlameofStyfe hmm so racism is just as bad as criticizing music....think about tht one big guy
Thank you to my kids and.Curious George for helping me discover this band, Awesome!! Keep rocking!!
hey anyone who says these guys are taalentless idiots...ya you are talking about my family, and friends. All of these guys were like uncles to me, and to here them being insulted pisses me off, so please be polite, and remember your insulting people that are nicer, more caring and more talented than you STRIVE to be.
show me a more evocative song, i'll listen. tears,,, not dry yet.
carbon leaf turns my mind into an abstract creation
@LeaffyStar19
too funny, thats where i first heard them, watching it with my 2 year old son
Carbon Leaf is such a great band. Their lyrics and harmonies are always worth hearing again and again. Thanks.
Glad there are still people making good music. I hope these guys make it a long career.
just saw a 10 minute rendition of this song in wilmington, nc... amazing.
Nicki Minaje are*
Carbon leaf is what music should be. This song should be the epitome of music, but sadly, people such as Ke$ha and Nickie
@patt1001 this is just Carbon Leaf man lets keep it that way
Song makes me cry :)
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by.
XxxSteeltitanxxX You’ve got a heart of gold... don’t let them take it from you. *quiet resolve*
Fuck you Justin Bieber. This band deserves over 500 million viiews
@dj1159 lots of punk takes Irish influence
some of the best punk bands are Irish.
Look up the Pogues. Or Split Enz. they're punk.
but they're punk in their message.
they're a soft sound.
Carbon leaf just kicks ass.
that can be their genre.
Ass-kicking rock.
Love Carbon leaf! Barry Privett has great vocals and inspires me!
Love Carbon leaf! Barry Privett has great vocals and inspires me!
I don't know how I've missed out on these guys. This is only the 3rd song I've heard but, I'm off to iTunes to buy the rest of it! I love music with a Celtic influence. Thanks so much!
As great as Carbon Leaf albums are, as mikehoncho said, nothing compares to them live. All the guys so obviously love doing what they are doing, making great music, and bringing it to people. Barry is one of the most soulful and animated singers I've ever seen live...Carbon Leaf = the best
I lost my dad when I was 13 also. As ddgallion said, you are not alone. The pain never quite goes away but it does get easier to manage. Feel secure in your loved ones and enjoy every second of life. It is grand.
i know how you feel without a dad mine died four years ago i was only 10
You have my sympathy. I feel for you. I lost my father when I was even younger than you are now. You are not alone, and eventually the pain will diminish and leave you only the joy of cherished memories.
greatttt song
CL's lyrics are just amazing...
"You've come far and though you're far from the end
You don't mind where you are, cuz you know where you've been."
So much eloquently said with so few lines.. (Shakes head.)
For my 40th birthday this year, I got these lyrics tattooed on my forearm. These words and I are together for life.
I love Carbonleaf. This song is beautiful. All of their music is so original and unique, and with so many meanings. I love all of their work.
(And apparently they're a hit in Italy!!)
You would have to be deaf, dumb, and blind to not adore carbon leaf. They are an original.
this is my favorite song in the entire world. its the reason i fell in love with carbon leaf
anyone knows where to download X-ray by Carbon Leaf?
Same here =]
Ahhh I love Carbon leaf. :] Makes great memories come back.
One of CL's best!
Carbon Leaf songs always make me smile :)
haha great classification
one of their best songs!
Buy them direct from Carbon Leaf- go to their website.
Green day is a punk band with very harsh sound.
YOu can make a case for some of the older Green day like Time of your day and a few others, but not now.
Carbon leaf is a celtic influenced band with a very soft sound
Yea, and I need some of that right now.
I just found out that the dream job was taken away and the person didn't want to tell me.
I am still fuming.
Maybe next song is foo fighters
agreed. =)
What?! You are kidding right? Green Day has NOTHING on Carbon Leaf. Green Day, at least until semi-recently, had no sense of melody. They were a punk band, after all.
I agree, it helped me too.
definately
This is a very green dayish sound isn't it.
I got to see them about a year or so ago at Boston University. Quickly became one of my favorite bands. War was in color makes me cry every time I hear it. Just an amazing band.
such a shame that these guys are so unknown!!!! lucky 4 me, i live in AZ, so i get 2 hear these guys on the radio, and i have 2 albums.
their music is very soothing.
