Good Year for the Roses Lyrics

I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick
On the cigarettes there in the ashtray
Lyin cold the way you left em,
But at least your lips caressed them while you packed
Or the lip-print on a half-filled cup of coffee
That you poured and didn't drink
But at least you thought you wanted it,
Thats so much more than I can say for me

What a good year for the roses
Many blooms still linger there
The lawn could stand another mowin
Funny I dont even care
As you turn to walk away
As the door behind you closes
The only thing I have to say
Its been a good year for the roses
After three full years of marriage,
It's the first time that you haven't made the bed
I guess the reason were not talkin,
There's so little left to say we haven't said

While a million thoughts go racin' through my mind,
I find I havent said a word
From the bedroom the familiar sound -
Our baby's cryin goes unheard
What a good year for the roses
Many blooms still linger there
The lawn could stand another mowin
Funny I dont even care
As you turn to walk away
As the door behind you closes
The only thing I have to say
Its been a good year for the roses
