Rose, can I come down for a drink?
It's happened again
I've got a story I'm sure will end poorly
I'll begin at the end
Rose, you must know
I couldn't find the words
That it takes to say "stay"
Now she's gone away
Rose, can I come down to your garden?
I can only wilt flowers
Bring me your shovel
There's a heart to be buried
And a body as well
Your letters are tied with a strand of your hair
In a breast pocket safe, they keep talking
Now I wake up alone
With my eyes to the floor
And I see you at my night
Well and weeping once more
Rose, can I come down to your rose bed?
To lay in your thorns
Know I meant it, so must be buried
I will not be mourned
Rose, you must know
I felt more than I said
Now I've got all the words
And no one
Now the hole has been dug
And I'm down on my knees
Rain make us mud
Spring with bloomer's one
It's happened again
I've got a story I'm sure will end poorly
I'll begin at the end
Rose, you must know
I couldn't find the words
That it takes to say "stay"
Now she's gone away
Rose, can I come down to your garden?
I can only wilt flowers
Bring me your shovel
There's a heart to be buried
And a body as well
Your letters are tied with a strand of your hair
In a breast pocket safe, they keep talking
Now I wake up alone
With my eyes to the floor
And I see you at my night
Well and weeping once more
Rose, can I come down to your rose bed?
To lay in your thorns
Know I meant it, so must be buried
I will not be mourned
Rose, you must know
I felt more than I said
Now I've got all the words
And no one
Now the hole has been dug
And I'm down on my knees
Rain make us mud
Spring with bloomer's one
