our bed of roses

Lyrics

the morning we moved in this house you said, let's make a bed of roses, so hand in hand we found that special place, and i broke the ground, i wiped that delta dirt from your face, as you knelt there to sow them, oh, i'd give anything a mortal man could give, if you could see them now, through the kitchen window pane, i can see the roses, the ones we planted that first spring are blooming, like they did when you were here, someone's always left behind, when the door of this life closes, so i sit alone and watch it rain on our bed of roses, some days i sit for hours at the time, just staring at those roses, they seem so young and full of life, but soon they'll face the winter chill, i don't know how long i can survive, but one thing that i know is, come spring time the roses will return, but you never will, through the kitchen window pane, lord, i can see the roses, the ones we planted that first spring are blooming, like they did when you were here, someone's always left behind, when the door of this life closes, so i sit alone and watch it rain on our bed of roses, so i sit alone and watch it rain on our bed of roses.
