lyrics

Wild Roses

It was in another winter
not long after it snowed,
a bus was shifting down
on a blue southern road.

Wild roses, long
in stem and leaf,
and daisies, oh
but they are brief.

Old man at the window
with a heavenly bouquet,
a girl across the aisle
who could not look away.

Wild roses, long
in stem and leaf,
and daisies, oh
but they are brief.

You love the flowers, he said,
and the flow of the sap;
my wife would like for you...
and laid them in her lap.

Wild roses, long
in stem and leaf,
and daisies, oh
but they are brief.

She smiled inside & dreamed
of blossoms when you marry,
watched him get off and walk
into the cemetery.

Wild roses, long
in stem and leaf,
and daisies, oh
but they are brief.

Poetry By Larry Beckett
