Roses Red - from Zero Down Time

ROSES RED (by Peter Preston)

You leave it linger
Hard on my ears
Watch eyelids lately
Welling with tears
-
And you know
That I know
That we know
That we're no good no more
And that pains me, baby
-
It's just the danger
You taught me to fear
And I couldn't be gladder
Not if I was twins
You thought you were bad, girl
But look now who wins
-
I'm steppin' out baby
Out on my own
The highway runs straightly
Wherever I roam
-
And I don't know
Where I'll go
Whats the cure
But I'm sure
I won't blow
My good cover, baby
-
'Cause soon I'll be reaping
Some seeds I have sown
Roses Red, and Violets Blue
"And all the sweetest flowres, that in the forrest grew" *
