Roses Fade

With precious scents of summer time
the lightning bugs said you were mine–
when i asked you to be kind
i found i had to wait in line–
you told me tales of love gone wrong
but you were paid to sing a long–
i knew the only lover’s song
i knew the only lover’s song–
Chorus:
i watched your roses fade away
the wings came off your back today–
and i saw all the truth behind
the pretty pictures in my mind–
You angel came a floating down
your halo it fell to the the ground–
the flies swarming into town
and starting circling round and round–
there was a body lyin’ there
and whose it was i didn’t care–
the prophet aly upon the stair(?)
the funeral was common fare–
