[00:10.17]	Can hardly bear the sight of lipstick on the cigarettes there in the ashtray
[00:15.99]	Lyin' cold the way you left 'em, but at least your lips caressed them while
[00:25.44]	You packed
[00:29.85]	Or the lip-print on a half-filled cup of coffee that you poured and didn't drink
[00:39.66]	But at least you thought you wanted it, that's so much more than I can say
[00:45.09]	For me
[00:47.91]	What a good year for the roses
[00:52.95]	Many blooms still linger there
[00:55.11]	The lawn could stand another mowin'
[01:00.33]	Funny I don't even care
[01:07.71]	As you turn to walk away
[01:12.69]	As the door behind you closes
[01:18.93]	The only thing I have to say
[01:23.97]	It's been a good year for the roses
[01:40.11]	After three full years of marriage, it's the first time that you haven't
[01:45.00]	Made the bed
[01:49.47]	I guess the reason we're not talkin', there's so little left to say we
[01:54.93]	Haven't said
[01:59.70]	While a million thoughts go racin' through my mind, I find I haven't said a word
[02:09.33]	>From the bedroom the familiar sound of one baby's cryin' goes unheard
[02:17.85]	What a good year for the roses
[02:22.71]	Many blooms still linger there
[02:24.84]	The lawn could stand another mowin'
[02:29.52]	Funny I don't even care
[02:34.38]	As you turn to walk away
[02:42.30]	As the door behind you closes
[02:48.18]	The only thing I have to say
[02:54.30]	It's been a good year for the roses
