| John Prine – One Red Rose Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| The line- The kitchen light fell asleep on the bedroom floor\nalways bugged me, I decided it was actually\n \nThe rain came down on the tin roof\nHardly a sound was left from the birthday party\nThe kids and I fell asleep on the bedroom floor.\n\nI consider it a requiem for a dead wife.\nThe other verses mentioniong her were a dream sequence and then memories.\n\nthe red rose was in his Bible, signifying his lost love.\nThe birthday party was the first one after she had passed.\nListening to the organ music and the structure, it sounds like a funeral dirge to me. That\'s just how I play it and sing it.\nIt makes more sense than a light going to sleep. | |
