| I cheat 'cause I lie
|
| I lie 'cause I steal
|
| I steal because my heart is good as buried in a field
|
| It’s food for the flowers
|
| In God’s honest truth
|
| Even the wild roses are blue
|
| I drink because I smoke
|
| I smoke because there’s fire
|
| A flame unquenchable burns higher and higher
|
| My love is long gone
|
| A love I thought was true
|
| Now even the wild roses are blue
|
| In my dreams (Dreams, dreams)
|
| You reach out for me
|
| In my dreams (Dreams, dreams)
|
| I reach out for you
|
| And I wake up crying
|
| There’s nothing I can do
|
| And even the wild roses are blue
|
| The river is long
|
| The valley is dry
|
| The birds, they don’t sing
|
| They just hang their heads and cry
|
| It’s lonesomest sound
|
| Now, how do I get through?
|
| When even the wild roses are blue
|
| In my dreams (Dreams, dreams)
|
| You reach out for me
|
| In my dreams (Dreams, dreams)
|
| I reach out for you
|
| I wake up crying
|
| There’s nothing I can do
|
| Even the wild roses are blue
|
| Even the wild roses are blue
|
| I cheat 'cause I lie
|
| I lie 'cause I steal
|
| And I steal because my heart’s been buried in a field |
