I CAN HARDLY BEAR THE SIGHT OF LIPSTICK
ON THE CIGARETTES THERE IN THE ASHTRAY
BUT AT LEAST YOUR LIPS CARRESSED 'EM WHILE YOU PACKED
AND A LIP PRINT ON A HALF FILLED CUP OF COFFEE
THAT YOU POURED AND DIDN'T DRINK
BUT AT LEAST YOU THOUGHT YOU WANTED IT AND THAT'S
SO MUCH MORE THAN I CAN SAY FOR ME
IT'S BEEN A GOOD YEAR FOR THE ROSES
MANY BLOOMS STILL LINGER THERE IN THE LAWN
COULD STAND ANOTHER MOWING
FUNNY I DON'T EVEN CARE WHEN YOU TURN TO WAL AWAY
AS THE DOOR BEHIND YOU CLOSES THE ONLY THING I KNOW TO SAY
IT'S BEEN A GOOD YEAR FOR THE ROSES
AFTER THREE FULL YEARS OF MARRIAGE IT'S THE
FIRST TIME THAT YOU HAVEN'T MADE THE BED
I GUESS THE REASON WE'RE NOT TALKING'S THERE'S SO LITTLE
LEFT TO SAY WE HAVEN'T SAID
WHILE A MILLION THOUGHTS GO RACING THROUGH MY MIND
I FIND I HAVEN'T SPOKE A WORD
AND FROM THE BEDROOM THE FAMILIAR SOUND OF OUR ONE
BABY'S CRYING GOES UNHEARD BUT WHAT A GOOD YEAR FOR THE ROSES
