A Good Year For The Roses

In the style of

George Jones

Lyrics

i can hardly bear
the sight of lipstick
on the cigarettes
there in the ashtray

lying cold the way
you left 'em
but at least your lips
caressed '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
the lawn could stand
another mowin'
funny
i don't even care

when you turn to
walk away
and 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 talkin'
there's so little
left to say
we haven't said

and 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
cryin' goes unheard

but what a good year
for the roses
many blooms
still linger there
the lawn could stand
another mowin'
funny
i don't even care

and when you turn to
walk away
as the door
behind you closes
the only thing
i know to say
it's been a good year
for the roses
