|
with precious scents of summertime
|
the lightening bugs said you were mind
|
when i asked you to be kind
|
i found i had to wait in line
|
|
you told me tales of love gone wrong
|
but who were they to sing along
|
i know you only love her song
|
i knew you only love her song
|
|
i watched you roses fade away
|
the wings came off your back today
|
and i saw all the truth behind
|
the pretty pictures in my mind
|
|
your angels came a floating down
|
your halo it fell to the ground
|
the flies came swarming into town
|
and started circling round and round
|
|
there was a body lying there
|
whose it was i didn't care
|
the coffin lay up on the stair
|
the funeral it was common fare
|
|
i watched your roses fade away
|
the wings came off your back today
|
and i saw all the truth behind
|
the pretty pictures in my mind
|
