Lyrics
YOU AND ROSES
Look....Slowly I am drifting now
Time to learn what life is all about
I’ve got lessons on the other side
No need to cry
Memories like to crowd your mind
Dreams will bring the bonds that bind
I’m too old to stay and watch the grass grow
Watch the grass grow, watch the grass grow
You and roses by the wall
Look before the petals fall
Proud picture for my last call
I see it all, I see it all
I taught you well, you’ve made a lovely home
But when it’s cold out wear a heavy coat
One short life and
Many roads
Now you know I have to go
To go
You and roses stand so tall
Look before the petals fall
Proud picture for my last call
I see it all
I see it all
