Garden

roses in a vase outside
roses in a vase outside
pray it rains
pray it rains tonight
on the roses in the vase outside
too much sunshine gonna make you dry
too much sunshine gonna take your life
i'd be your gardener if that'd be all right
i'd save the roses in a vase outside
you know i think i heard before
that every rose wants something more
and if you bear your teeth you know they'll bear their thorns
it's best you leave them roses alone
i guess i'd kiss you but i'm just too tired
why not sit here
we'll just talk for a while
i'll light a cigarette
we'll sit down by the fire
just like roses in a vase outside
you're my garden and you've always been
i can't think straight so let's just be friends
i've been known to let the time slip by
wilting roses in the vase outside
