When The Roses Die

When The Roses Die Lyrics & Chords

Once upon a silent night
No one had to live like this
Back when there was wrong and right
And right was all you did
Look into the mirror, your eyes
Are so much dimmer now than then
The wrinkles that you try to hide
Reveal the empty core you’ve been
Funny what you realize
When you ain’t got nothing left to give

CHORUS:
Keep on aging past your prime
You ain’t got nothing left to hide
Darkness is creeping into your eyes
What you gonna do when the roses die?

Flowers never last too long
I know you know that by now
Just one short time for a happy song
And poems filled with thees and thous
That pedestal he had you on
Has fallen back into the ground
One slamming door and he’s gone
How you always dread that sound
But one hidden day when time is gone
There ain’t gonna be no second time around

Seasons change and seasons grow
But you’re stuck in a blinding chill
People praise blankets of snow
But you’re left shivering on a hill
The things that harm are what you know
You’ve already paid that bill
Now you’ve seen that life won’t go
Like the way you thought it will
You feel a tug from the ground below
And you know the world begins and ends in Bethel
