Last night the rain was falling hard
The wind was screaming in the dark
I drank too much I lost the spark
But still I asked
Are the roses red
You say
The roses still bloom
But I know what’s true
I know the spring is fading soon
Oh the green so lush the red so deep
But time is stealing all my sleep!
Oh the green so lush the red so deep
I feel the ache I can not keep!
The curtain moves
the night grows cold
Another story left untold
I drink the wine
I break the mold
But still I cry
Are the roses red
You say
The roses still glow
But I feel the woe
I feel the leaves are falling slow
Oh the green so lush the red so deep
But time is stealing all my sleep
Oh the green so lush the red so deep
I feel the ache I cannot keep
Rain rain
wash my pain
Wind wind
break the chain
Wine wine
numb my mind
Roses roses
tell me lies
Green so lush!
Red so deep!
Time is stealing all my sleep
Green so lush!
Red so deep!
I feel the ache
I can not keep
Last night
last night
Rain wind
Are the roses red
