Roses

from Stray by St. Peter's Dog

/

lyrics

Hold the roses
Save ‘em for the one
Who ain't on the run
Who got the roots
Who'll bear you the fruits

Give the roses
To your husband instead
I can't smell ‘em if I'm dead
And I'd be dead
If I stayed I’d be dead

And it’s a long way back
It’s a long way down that track
Holdin’ on
Holdin’ on

Save the roses
Put ‘em in the cup
Where the sun come up
Where the dream
Is just like it seem

Smell the roses
It’s the price we got to pay
For faking this a-way
Have you forgot?
We fell for what we’re not

And it’s a long way back
And it’s a long way down that track
Holdin’ on
Holdin’ on

And it’s a long way back
And it’s a long way down that track
Holdin’ on
Holdin’ on
