A Good Year for the Roses
I can hardly bear the sight of lipstickOn the cigarettes there in the ashtrayLyin' cold the way you left'emBut at least your lips caressed them while you packedAnd a lip print on a half-filled cup of coffeeThat I poured and didn't drinkBut at least you thought you wanted itAnd that's so much more then I can say for meIt's been a good year for the rosesAnd many blooms still linger thereThe lawn could stand another mowin'Funny,I don't even careAnd when you turn to walk awayAs the door behind you closesThe only thing I know to sayIt's been a good year for the rosesAfter three full years of marriageIt's the first time that I haven't made the bedI guess the reason we're not talkin'There's so little left to say,we haven't saidAnd while a million thoughts go racin' through my mindI find I haven't spoke a wordAnd from the bedroom,the familiar soundsOf our one baby's cryin' goes unheardLetras de cancionesBut what a good year for the rosesAnd may blooms still linger thereThe lawn could stand another mowin'Funny,I don't careAnd when you turn to walk awayAs the door behind you closesThe only thing I know to sayIt's been a good year for the rosesThe only thing I know to sayIt's been a good year for the roses From Letras Mania
