lyrics

‘Red Roses’
Music and Lyrics by Thomas Carter. Copyright Verlaine Records 2009.

Like the water of the sea,
Like an island you can’t reach,
Like a lifeboat you don’t need,
That will only buy you time,
Like a thief.

Like a distance out of sight,
Like a feeling that you hide,
Like a fire in the night,
Well, let it burn,
Let it burn out,
Tonight.

***

Oh, how you change,
Red roses blue.

Change them slowly,
As you could.

It’s the worst thing,
That she could do.

And she’s spiteful,
And she’s cruel.
But you love her still.

But you love her still?

I don’t think I do.
