I can hardly bare the sight
of lipstick, on the cigarettes
there in the ashtray

Lying cold
the way you left them

But at least your lips
caressed them
while you packed

Or the lip rim on a half filled
cup of coffee that you
poured but didn&#39;t drink

But at least you thought
you wanted it that&#39;s so much
more that I can say for me

What a good year
for the roses
Many blooms still there

No-one could stand
another moment
mey I don&#39;t even care...

As you turned to walk away
As the door behind you closes

The only thing I have to say
It&#39;s been a good year
for the roses...

After three full
years of marriage

It&#39;s the first time that you
haven&#39;t made the bed

I guess the reason
we&#39;re not talking

There&#39;s so little left
to say we haven&#39;t said

While a million thoughts
go racing through my mind
I fmd that I haven&#39;t said a word

From the bedroom
the familiar sound

Our one baby&#39;s
crying goes unheard

What a good year
for the roses
Many blooms still there

No-one could stand
another moment
mey I don&#39;t even care...

As you turned to walk away
As the door behind you closes

The only thing I have to say
It&#39;s been a good year
for the roses .....
