Verse 2
|
Some days I sit for hours at the time, just stirring 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 sping time the roses will return, but you never will
|

Through the kitchen windowpane, 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
