Elvis Costello - A Good Year For The Roses Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick
  • On the cigarettes there in the ashtray
  • Lyin' cold the way you left 'em,
  • But at least your lips caressed them
  • While you packed
  • Or the lip-print on a half-filled cup of coffee
  • That you poured and didn't drink
  • But at least you thought you wanted it,
  • Tat's so much more than I can say for me
  • What a good year for the roses
  • Many blooms still linger there
  • The lawn could stand another mowin'
  • Funny I don't even care
  • As you turn to walk away
  • As the door behind you closes
  • The only thing I have 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',
  • Tere's so little left to say we haven't said
  • While a million thoughts go racin' through my mind
  • I find I haven't said a word
  • From the bedroom the familiar sound
  • Of a baby's cryin' goes unheard
  • What a good year for the roses
  • Many blooms still linger there
  • The lawn could stand another mowin'
  • Funny I don't even care
  • As you turn to walk away
  • As the door behind you closes
  • The only thing I have to say
  • It's been a good year for the roses
