For the Roses Lyrics

For The Roses

My father says we're heaven sent
As my mother cries in the churchyard
And I was just kicking up the leaves from the tree
Collecting up my love for the roses
But I didn't want it to happen like this
I didn't want it to happen like this
But I'm just sitting on the branch of a tree
Now I fell down to my knees
Sitting on the branch of a tree
Now I fell down to my knees

And everyone around me says I broke everybody's heart
But it's not only me who's got no shoes to wear
And my father thinks he can look straight through me
And even my wife thinks I'm a failure
But I didn't want it to happen like this
I didn't want it to happen like this
But I was just sitting on the branch of a tree
Now I fell down to my knees
Sitting on the branch of a tree
Now I fell down to my knees

He says we're heaven sent
As he cries in the churchyard
But I was just collecting up the leaves from the tree
Just collecting up my love for the roses
But I didn't want it to happen like this
But I didn't want it to happen like this
But I was just sitting on the branch of a tree
Now I fell down to my knees
Sitting on the branch of a tree
Now I fell down to my knees
Sitting on the branch of a tree
Now I fell down to my knees
