A Good Year for the Roses |
| 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 |
