These Old Roses

Do you remember
How fast your heart would beat
When you held me in your sleep?

Smoking in our bed
What was that line you said?
“Tomorrow is a lie, the biggest rumor of all time”

These old roses
Have seen better days
Where are you goin'?
Don’t forget my name

These old roses
I can't throw away
Got this feeling
You'll come back my way

These old roses
Have seen better days
I could love you
But couldn't make you stay

These old roses
At my window pane
Pale hands praying
You'll come back someday
You'll come back my way

These old roses
These old roses
