Ring of Roses - Evida

A break in the clouds is a break in my day Face the sun of my salvation As Hathaway Jones would have made it his own feet Fly by the wings of your creation On the top of your head, there is a poem The thought in my head, oh God only knows As everything else will disappoint you I used to be young and bold But now I'm afraid, I'm getting so old I followed the light to the City of Roses It's a little-known fact that I can't cope I'm the champion of repression I've had it enough with the east coast I'll die by the wings of my ambition The city I left, the city of throes The one that I loved, the city of hope As everything else will disappoint you I used to be young and bold But now I'm of age, I'm getting so old I followed the light to the City of Roses A break in the clouds is a break in my day

The morning we moved in this house you said Let's make a bed of roses So hand in hand we found that special place And I broke the ground I wiped that delta dirt from your face As you knelt there to sow them Oh, I'd give anything a mortal man could give If you could see them now Chorus: Through the kitchen window pane, I can see the roses The ones we planted that first spring are blooming Like they did when you were here Someone's always left behind When the door of this life closes So I sit alone and watch it rain on our bed of roses Some days I sit for hours at the time, Just staring at those roses They seem so young and full of life, But soon they'll face the winter chill I don't know how long I can survive, But one thing that I know is Come sping time the roses will return, But you never will Chorus: Through the kitchen window pane, Lord, I can see the roses The ones we planted that first spring are blooming Like they did when you were here Someone's always left behind When the door of this life closes So I sit alone and watch it rain on our bed of roses So I sit alone and watch it rain on our bed of roses...
