Roses Fade (Mojo mix) Lyrics

with precious scents of summertime
the lightening bugs said you were mind
when i asked you to be kind
i found i had to wait in line
you told me tales of love gone wrong
but who were they to sing along
i know you only love her song
i knew you only love her song

i watched you roses fade away
the wings came off your back today
and i saw all the truth behind
the pretty pictures in my mind
your angels came a floating down
your halo it fell to the ground
the flies came swarming into town
and started circling round and round

there was a body lying there
whose it was i didn't care
the coffin lay up on the stair
the funeral it was common fare
i watched your roses fade away
the wings came off your back today
and i saw all the truth behind
the pretty pictures in my mind
