The morning we moved in this house
You said let's make a bed of roses
So hand in hand we found that special place
And I broke the groundI wiped that delta dirt from your face
As you knelt there to sow them
Oh, I'd give anything a mortal man
Could give if you could see them nowThrough the kitchen windowpane
I can see the roses
The ones we planted that first spring are blooming
Like they did when you were hereSomeone's always left behind
When the door of this life closes
So I sit alone and watch it rain
On our bed of rosesSome days I sit for hours at the time
Just stirring at those roses
They seem so young and full of life
But soon they'll face the winter chillI don't know how long I can survive
But one thing that I know is
Come spring time the roses will return
But you never willThrough the kitchen windowpane
Lord, I can see the roses
The ones we planted that first spring are blooming
Like they did when you were hereSomeone's always left behind
When the door of this life closes
So I sit alone and watch it rain
On our bed of roses
So I sit alone and watch it rain
On our bed of roses
