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, that's 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 don't even care |
|
As you turn to walk away |
|
As the door behind you closes |
|
The only thing I have to say |
|
It's 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 we're 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 haven't said a word |
|
>From the bedroom the familiar sound of one 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 don't even care |
|
As you turn to walk away |
|
As the door behind you closes |
|
The only thing I have to say |
|
It's been a good year for the roses |
